Special Olympics Polar Plunge Portable Pier

The Polar Plunge is a unique opportunity for individuals, organizations, and businesses to support local Special Olympics athletes by jumping or slowly crawling into the frigid and icy waters of Wisconsin. The Eau Claire Polar Plunge was held on February 11 due to subzero temperatures on it’s originally-scheduled date, but over 600 Plungers still made the event a success raising over $80,000 for Special Olympics!

One of CVHBA’s 2007 community service projects is building a Polar Plunge Portable Pier (say that five times fast!) for the eager plungers that participate.

A big thank you to Jim Davis of Veolia Environmental Services, Dennis Pawlak of Pawlak Construction and Angela Deutschlander of Idea Signs, whom have provided volunteer labor, as well as material contributions by Randy Fleischman of United Building Center-Eau Claire. Jim, Dennis, Angela and Randy....thank you for all of your hard work...CVHBA is truly giving back to our communities and participating in the philanthropic, charitable spirit!
