Special Olympics Chicago and Special Children’s Charities
Jackson National Life Insurance Company (Jackson®), the main
operating subsidiary of Jackson Financial Inc. (NYSE: JXN),
announced it will serve as the presenting sponsor of the 2023
Chicago Polar Plunge, the largest polar plunge in the Midwest, with
over 4,000 participants annually. All proceeds from the event will
help fund year-round activities, events, transportation, uniforms
and equipment for athletes of the Special Olympics Chicago and
Special Children’s Charities.
“I am proud that Jackson will be the presenting sponsor of the
Chicago Polar Plunge for the fourth year in a row,” said Dan Koors,
Chicago-based senior vice president and chief operating officer of
Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (JNAM), Jackson’s investment
adviser affiliate. “This incredible event brings the community
together to support a common goal: providing people with
intellectual disabilities opportunities to discover new strengths,
abilities and accomplishments. I am honored to be a newly appointed
member of the Special Olympics Chicago Board of Directors and look
forward to seeing how the funds raised strengthen the skills and
spirits of the benefitting athletes.”
Jackson strives to advance disability inclusion in the workplace
by raising awareness and engaging in community efforts such as the
Chicago Polar Plunge. Jackson has also established an internal
Enable Network, which is a business resource associate group that
aims to make resources available to its associates who either have
disabilities or may be affected by disabilities as a caretaker or
advocate.
“Jackson has been a tremendous and valued supporter of our
organization, the Chicago Polar Plunge and our thousands of
athletes for years,” said Ray Baker, president of Special Olympics
Chicago/Special Children’s Charities. “The Chicago Polar Plunge,
and our partnership with Jackson, helps us to provide life-changing
activities and events to people with intellectual disabilities
throughout the year. In honor of International Day of Persons with
Disabilities on December 3rd, I hope everyone will register for the
Chicago Polar Plunge, which is on track to be one of our largest to
date.”
The Chicago Polar Plunge will be held on Sunday, March 5, 2023,
at North Avenue Beach, and associates from Jackson and Jackson’s
Chicago-based affiliates JNAM and PPM America, Inc. (PPM) are
