October 17, 2025

On Thursday, Oct. 9th, nearly 150 participants from over 15 different companies and organizations from across Boston dove into Bear Force One with energy, courage, and a shared commitment to Special Olympics Massachusetts. Not only did they brave the icy waters, but together they raised over $40,000 to support athletes across the state.

This evnt wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity and support of our partners. A huge thank you to Cisco Brewers and the Boston Police Department for helping to make it a success, and to the Boston Bruins Foundation for turning up and raising over $10,000 to support athletes statewide.

Every splash, every shiver, and every dollar raised makes a real difference in the lives of Special Olympics athletes. Thank you to everyone who joined, cheered, and donated!
