Thousands of Chicagoans turned out Sunday morning to jump in the freezing cold lake water off North Avenue Beach and raise money for Special Olympics Chicago—including celebrity guest Dax Shepard and many, many more costumed participants.

Shepard, an actor who stars in the upcoming movie adaptation of the TV show CHiPs, wore the uniform he wears in the film. Check out our photos from the festivities, above.
