Polar Plunge team raises over $44,000

A group of Fox Chapel Area High School and Dorseyville Middle School students recently raised the most money in Pennsylvania for the 2025 Cool Schools Polar Plunge. The Fox Chapel Area team raised $44,807 to support the Fox Chapel Area School District Special Olympics Unified Sports teams and Unified Sports teams across Pennsylvania. Additionally, once again, the Kramer Family matched a portion of every donation given to Fox Chapel Area’s team.

The teams promote inclusion through competitive experiences. This is the third consecutive year that the Fox Chapel Area team raised the most money out of all the school teams in Pennsylvania. Over the past three years, the Fox Chapel Area Polar Plunge team raised $122,007.

Approximately 130 Fox Chapel Area High School and Dorseyville Middle School students participated in the Pittsburgh Cool Schools Polar Plunge on February 21, 2025, at Acrisure Stadium.
