In years past, the Polar Plunge was something different clubs at B-A participated in to raise funds for a good cause, but with social distancing in place large groups jumping into  the water together may not be the safest idea.

So Plunge organizers have gone a different route.

The Polar Pop is coming up to raise money for the Special Olympics.

In a manner similar to the ice bucket challenge from several years ago, when people recorded themselves dumping ice water on themselves to raise awareness for ALS, participants will be doused in freezing cold water after raising sponsorship money.

Anyone can start their own page and fundraise to get money.

At Bellwood-Antis, Mr. Schreier, Mr. Rhone, Mr. Sachse, Mr. Burch, Mrs. Stinson, Mr. Lovrich, and the top student Donator will take part in the Polar Pop this Year.

The teachers and the student will go outside in the freezing weather and get a cold water balloon popped over their head.

There is discussion of broadcasting this Event live on the schools website.
