This year, our Plungers & the CPTWC Community came together & raised $3,829.95 for the Special Olympics. This breaks our donation record from 2025! 🎊

Lake Michigan gave our brave team a water temperature of 34°F 🥶 and Mother Nature made sure to make it even colder outside!

Our tough team took their dip, survived the elements, and we are happy to report that they have finally warmed back up at work this week!

Thank you to our team and to everyone else who helped us support this incredible cause! This record setting plunge would not of been possible without you 🙌🏼
