The Basement Doctor was proud to be the presenting sponsor
of the 16th annual Polar Plunge on February 3rd at its
new location, Express Live! All proceeds
from the plunge went directly to support 26,000 Special Olympics Ohio athletes. This fun event included a costume contest and
an after-party hosted by DJ MDizzle.
Special Olympics has made it their mission to ensure that no
athletes or their families are financially responsible for participating. Similar
to last year, all plungers were required to raise a minimum of $75 ($50 for
students) in pledges. This year,
plungers had the option to register as ‘Too Chicken To Plunge’ and were
required to raise a minimum of $30. The event was a success raising over
$108,000 total!
As well as our sponsorship, Team Basement Doctor had 29
participating plungers and raised over $1,500! Many employees made donations and
were present for the event to show their support.
Team Basement Doctor doubled in size this year and we hope
to grow even more next year! For more information about Special Olympics Ohio, please

“It was great to see so much community support for this
wonderful organization. I am proud to be a part of the Polar Plunge year
after year," said Ryan Bolin, Sales Manager for The Basement Doctor. "Looking forward to seeing many new faces in 2019!”
