The 2016 Polar Plunge took place Saturday, February 20^th at Bass Pro Lake, where there were five employee participants representing Socket.
  
Our brave group was expecting to take a dive into frigid waters, but unlike previous years it was warm and sunny with a completely thawed lake. To stand out from the other participating groups the Socket employees wore tropical themed costumes, which was a perfect fit for the weather. They were equipped with flower leis, hula skirts, and tropical masks as they took the plunge together to represent our company and support a great cause!  
  
Socket is a proud sponsor of the Missouri Polar Plunge, which is a unique opportunity to raise money for Special Olympic athletes. All together there were 265 participants and $50,100 in donations. 

Special Olympics transforms lives through the joy of sport, everyday, everywhere. They are the world's largest sports organization with nearly 16,500 athletes in Missouri alone.
