Hixson Leaps In for Special Olympics Ohio!

March 2026

Last Saturday, a group of 16 Hixson associates, including a few brave family members and friends, suited up once again for the Cincinnati Polar Plunge benefiting Special Olympics Ohio! Hixson was also a corporate sponsor of the event, which typically takes place in January but was postponed to March due to the extreme cold earlier this winter.

The delay worked in the participants’ favor: Decked out in creative costumes and fully embracing the fun, volunteers took the leap with practically balmy air temperatures in the mid‑50s°F…a rare treat for an event known for frigid conditions.

Participating in and sponsoring events like the Cincinnati Polar Plunge is part of our commitment to support the communities in which we live and work. Learn more about this commitment here.
