Bundle up and join the New Albany Police Department at Eagle Stadium on Saturday, February 28, for this year’s Law Enforcement Torch Run Polar Plunge for Special Olympics! Festivities kick off with the costume contest at 11:45 a.m., followed immediately by the plunge. Click here to donate or show up to support New Albany Special Olympics!

The Polar Plunge was started by officers who belong to the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. The Law Enforcement Torch Run is an organization comprised of Officers from local, state, and federal agencies who are dedicated to supporting Special Olympics Ohio through fund-raising, special events like the Torch Run, and unified sports with Special Olympics Athletes. Each year in addition to hosting Polar Plunge and Plane Pull events, Law Enforcement Officers serve as the Guardian of the Flame and run the torch throughout their respective communities in an effort to create awareness for Special Olympics. In Ohio, nearly 1,000 Police Officers annually support the Law Enforcement Torch Run and raise over $1 million for our athletes and programs.
