Ice Yards is pleased to partner with the annual Polar Plunge Fundraiser to benefit Special Olympics DC. The Polar Plunge supports over 1,800 DC-based athletes who receive year-round sports training and opportunities to compete in the Special Olympics DC Games. An above-ground swimming pool will be erected on the boardwalk, and participants will "take the plunge” to the cheers of the Ice Yards crowd.
