2023 Ithaca Polar Plunge

On Saturday, March 25, 2023, members of WICB participated in Ithaca's annual Polar Plunge at Taughannock Falls State Park in support of Special Olympics New York. WICB's team raised $410. In total, the community event raised over $101K for the organization, surpassing the fundraising goal.

Thank you to those who supported WICB's Polar Plunge team and donated to Special Olympics New York. WICB's participation and fundraising efforts were led by Parker Schug '23, the station's Director of Public Relations.

WICB is Ithaca's student-run FM radio station and can be heard locally on 91.7 FM. Programming also streams at wicb.org and is available on the WICB iOS mobile app, plus iHeart and TuneIn Radio.
