🥶💙We’re Taking the Plunge for a Great Cause💙🥶

The New Buffalo Police Department is proud to be participating in the Southwest Michigan Polar Plunge to support the Michigan Special Olympics! This amazing event is being held on February 7, 2025 at 12:00pm at Watermark in Stevensville, MI, helps provide year-round sports training and opportunities for athletes with disabilities—and we’re honored to be part of it.

Our officers will be braving the cold (and wearing some fun costumes!) to raise money for this incredible cause. 🎭❄️

💙Our donation goal this year is $2,000, and we would love your support! Every dollar makes a difference and goes directly toward helping the Michigan Special Olympics.
