“The water was freezing, but the smiles on the faces of the kids at Special Olympics of Massachusetts melted our hearts earlier this month when the MSP took part in this year’s Polar Plunge.

All told, some 80 Polar Plungers from various walks of life jumped into the icy pool at the group’s Marlborough headquarters to support the organization’s outstanding mission. Among them was Troop C Community Liaison Officer Trooper Farrah Gray, who organized MSP’s participation and was cheered on by her Troop Commander, Major David Gallagher, and other members of the Troop C Community Action Team.

The MSP is especially grateful to the Special Olympics of Massachusetts and its Assistant Vice President of Development, Fundraising, and Partner Engagement, Stephanie Esposito, for observing a moment of silence at the start of the event in memory of Trooper Tamar Bucci, who was killed in the line of duty three days prior to the event.

Trooper Bucci’s desire to make a positive change by serving others is an ideal that we embrace in all our community outreach efforts. We look forward to continuing to support the Special Olympics of Massachusetts and their mission of providing enrichment through sports and competition to children and adults with intellectual disabilities.” -Massachusetts State Police.
