Vince Vaughn won’t dodge Chicago: He’s agreed to do the Polar Plunge

He’s so money: Lake Forest native Vince Vaughn has said yes to doing the Chicago Polar Plunge at North Avenue Beach March 1.

The star of the upcoming comedy “Unfinished Business,” which hits theaters March 6, will be hitting the icy waters of Lake Michigan along with a few thousand other brave souls. Now in its 15th year, the event is the largest annual fundraiser for Special Olympics Chicago.

Vaughn follows in the footsteps of last year’s VIP, “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon, who sprinted into the freezing lake dressed in a suit.

Vaughn will be wearing something a bit different: A Chicago Blackhawks jersey.

“I’m so excited to help cheer on the amazing athletes of Special Olympics,” the diehard Hawks fan said in a written statement. “Their courage and dedication inspired me to take the polar plunge into the freezing waters of Chicago.”

Last year’s plunge raised north of $1 million for Special Olympics Chicago, an organization that provides year-round activities and events to nearly 5,000 athletes.

The group recently invited Vaughn to take part, turning up the heat for him to say yes thanks to a social media campaign using the hashtag #VinnyDippin.

Vaughn has starred in numerous films, including “Dodgeball,” “Wedding Crashers” and “Swingers.” He’s signed on to star in season two of HBO’s hit drama “True Detective.”

Several cast members of “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” took the plunge last year and plan to come back for more this March.
