The Douglas K. Deaton Memorial Polar Plunge is a seasonal charity event taking place on Saturday, February 21, organized to honor the memory of Douglas K. Deaton and support families affected by cancer. Participants gather at The Cross Eyed Bear in Marion, Illinois (at Lake of Egypt) where they take a cold-water plunge as part of the fundraiser. The event typically includes community festivities—such as music, food, drink specials, and giveaways.
