The first 1,500 fans to the game will receive a Charge Beach Towel and members of Special Olympics Ohio will join the team throughout the night in the High Five Tunnels and a halftime scrimmage presented by Cleveland-CLIFFS. Special Olympics of Ohio will also be honored during the game with a $30,000 grant from the Cavaliers Community Foundation as part of the Foundation's wider 30-year celebration initiative.

Members of the Cleveland Charge front office will be participating in the Polar Plunge earlier Saturday afternoon at Edgewater Beach House with entertainment from the team's DJ London Bridges and an appearance from Pozzie. Fans can sign up to take the plunge or donate at clepolarplunge.org.
