Michael Phelps Chilly GOAT team goes cold with Special Olympics Indiana

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — The Chilly GOAT team knows a thing or two about going cold, but they took it to the next level on February 8, braving 28-degree temperatures and freezing rain to take the plunge for a great cause.  

Michael Phelps Chilly GOAT Cold Tubs by Master Spas was a proud sponsor of the Special Olympics Indiana Fort Wayne Polar Plunge, an annual event that supports Special Olympics Indiana athletes across the state.  

"We’re all about pushing limits and embracing the cold, but what really matters is coming together for a great cause," said Kevin Richards, President of Master Spas "Supporting Special Olympics Indiana and the athletes who inspire us is an honor."  

This year’s Special Olympics Indiana Fort Wayne Polar Plunge raised over $104,000, bringing communities together in support of more than 19,000 Special Olympics Indiana athletes.  

As part of the partnership, Chilly GOAT set up four inflatable Chilly GOAT GO! portable ice baths on the beach, giving participants a chance to experience the benefits of cold therapy — whether as a pre-plunge warmup, an alternative to jumping into the lake, or a way to extend their cold exposure after the event.  

In addition to sponsoring the event, members of the Chilly GOAT team took the plunge themselves to show their full support for the Special Olympics Indiana athletes.

Held on February 8, 2205, at Metea County Park, the event was part of a statewide series of Polar Plunges, offering businesses, students, and the public a chance to take the plunge — or support those who did — to benefit Special Olympics Indiana.
