The vibrancy of community spirit was on full display at the annual Special Olympics Polar Bear Plunge and Chili Cook-off, drawing enthusiastic participation from both local residents and notable University of Memphis football stars. This dynamic fundraiser offered a plethora of engaging activities, including the exhilarating plunge into icy waters, savory chili tastings, and spirited live auctions. The football players were enthusiastic to make the plunge into the cold water in support of Special Olympics of Greater Memphis. It was a great opportunity for dedicated tiger fans to interact with some of their favorite veteran tigers and new transfers on the team while also fundraising for Special Olympics.
