~ Background ~
The first Subzero Heroes was held on a chilly morning in February 2010 when 25 
brave souls jumped into a frozen lake and approximately 80 others watched (and laughed) . Since then, the event has expanded dramatically, and we expect more 500 people this year. Subzero Heroes is one of our most popular fundraisers — and
because of its strong media interest, it is also one of our most visible. Funds raised for Subzero Heroes help support the Alzheimer’s Association’s goals of advancing research for the prevention, cure and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and providing support and assistance to the 5.4 million afflicted and their families.
