Kathy Erickson

Welcome to my 2026 Polar Plunge home page! The generous support I've received from all of you...and the athletes participating in the MN Special Olympics... are what motivate me to take the plunge, year after year. This is my 13th year taking the plunge and the Southdale YMCA Y's Crackers 12th year! I'm so proud of everyone who has taken the plunge with me and so grateful for the support from all of you! Thank you in advance for your continued support. Cheers to 2026!
