Mental Makeover: Polar Plunge

On Saturday, January 11th, 2025, despite the freezing temperatures and literal snowstorm, Team Old Soul Young World took the plunge for our third year in a row to support Mental Makeover at their Freezing for a Reason Polar Plunge.

The Polar Plunge is Mental Makeover’s annual event dedicated to raising awareness for mental health advocacy on the Northshore, a cause near and dear to our hearts. We couldn’t be more grateful to the 30 amazing supporters who helped OSYW raise $1,300 in donations.
