Every year, Delta Air Lines brings together employees, former employees, and vendor partners to support Special Olympics Minnesota by jumping into a freezing‑cold lake in the middle of winter. This year, we were proud to have participants carrying flags from Costa Rica and France.
Our Delta teams were joined by at least two vendor groups—Cisco Systems Atlanta and SITA—who came out to support the cause. Several Delta teams participated, with Delta Frozen Flyers being the largest and providing the event shirts. Delta IT De-Icers had an outstanding 117 team members this year, and together they raised an incredible amount in donations. That support is exactly why we do this.
Of course, seeing the look on people’s faces when they hit the ice‑cold water is pretty special too.
A huge thank‑you to everyone who participated, volunteered their time, or donated to the cause. We hope to see you again next year—hopefully with actual ice on the lake to jump through.
