We are incredibly proud of our very own Heather Alderink and Genny Cross for taking the leap! This year, they are representing UHL as part of Team NAWIC - Minneapolis/St Paul Chapter in the 2026 Polar Plunge.
They’re braving the icy waters of Lake Nokomis to raise vital funds for the Special Olympics, ensuring athletes have the resources, equipment, and opportunities they need to compete and shine.
Help us cheer them on! If you’d like to support their plunge and this amazing cause, you can donate here: https://reg.plungemn.org/participant/heatheralderink
