Polar Plunge® for Special Olympics

Every year brave souls line up to take an icy plunge, the Polar Plunge!

The Polar Plunge—sometimes held in conjunction with the Law Enforcement Torch Run— is a huge fundraising effort benefiting Special Olympics and the athletes. In order to participate, individuals or teams collect pledges from friends, family, and colleagues to lock in their spot!

Special Olympics Programs invite you to come out and support your community by taking the Polar Plunge; your involvement is critical in aiding our athletes. Proceeds raised go to help provide year round sports training and competition for athletes. Additionally, your contribution and involvement helps athletes achieve their goals, live healthier lives, and have a sense of inclusion in the community. If you cannot take the Plunge, you can still come out, make a donate, volunteer your time, and show your support!

Are you brave enough to take the Polar Plunge?
