UNIFIED SPORTS EVENT

Dear GDRHS families, 

I’m excited to announce that on Friday, March 28, 2025, at the end of the school day, students will have the chance to participate in a Mobile Polar Plunge Fundraiser to support the Special Olympics!

This is where you can help: Students can sign up as sponsors and raise funds for this amazing cause. To be able to participate in the plunge, each student must raise a minimum of $25 in donations.

Every dollar raised goes directly toward supporting athletes of the Special Olympics and giving them the opportunity to compete and succeed. If you're a student interested in signing up to participate, please use the website linked below to get started. I have also attached a video that explains the polar plunge and what it's all about!! Teams and costumes are encouraged! Join your friends, teammates, and club peers to get involved! 

Let’s work together to make this event a big success and support a truly wonderful cause!
