The plunge is in support of the 8,716 Special Olympics Maryland athletes all across the state. Special Olympics Maryland has set a goal of raising $1 million dollars with all supporters by Jan. 31.
Towson Athletics student-athletes and staff have long taken part in the Polar Bear Plunge to support the community. Athletic director

Leading the Towson Athletics portion of the fundraiser are
Bria Bennett, Towson Athletics community partnership coordinator, Justin Lima, director of football performance, and
