Polar Plunge!

Jumping into a freezing pool of natural body of water in the middle of winter may seem like a crazy idea, but over the past 27 years, thousands upon thousands of our supporters have risen to the challenge, braved the elements, and made Special Olympics Indiana's annual Polar Plunge a huge success. And with a total of 20 Polar Plunge events set to be held at 16 venues across the state this winter, you're sure to find a convenient location to make a splash for our athletes by Being Bold & Getting Cold!

The Polar Plunge is a fun and easy way to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities — and it's an experience you won't soon forget. Plus, those who are unwilling or unable to jump into the water can still be a part of the fun by raising money and attending as “virtual plungers”.

Sign up today to support Special Olympics athletes in your community and beyond by joining us for this extreme fundraising event for the warm at heart!
