Family & Friends, 

I am plunging this year for the first time ever in support of Special Olympics of Southern California and I am thrilled.  The Polar Plunge is one of the largest fundraisers that Special Olympics holds each year to raise money for our yearly activities and fights for inclusion for all.  Since I began participating as an athlete, they have provided me with countless opportunities to continually discover my own strengths and abilities and I want to see this continue for others as well.  I hope you can participate by donating on my behalf as I thank you by happily plunging into the cold water this weekend.   Love, Clarissa

Show your support for Special Olympics Southern California. With your donation, we can enrich the lives of athletes with intellectual disabilities and their communities through sports, education, and athlete health. Every dollar raised by Special Olympics not only provides equipment, uniforms, and training for our athletes, but also gives them empowerment, joy, and improved health.

Love, Clarissa J. Tirado
