❄️What is the Polar Plunge? ❄️

The Polar Plunge is a series of events where people go to the EXTREME to support Special Olympics Colorado!  All funds raised by Plungers help provide year-round training and services to over 23,000 Special Olympics athletes across the state. 

So how does it work?

Fundraising is required to participate in the Polar Plunge, but the minimum of $80 ($50 for students and Special Olympics atletes) makes a BIG IMPACT. 

Step 1. Register 

• Register for one of several events across Colorado
  
  
• Set your fundraising goal. Fundraising is required to participate in the Polar Plunge, with a minimum of $80. Be sure to check out this year’s cool incentives for each level! 
  
  
• Ask your friends, family, and co-workers to join your team. The bigger the team, the better! ❤️

Step 2. Fundraise 💸

• We get it. Fundraising can be hard, and asking for money can feel awkward. Luckily, you’re doing it for a GREAT CAUSE—and we have resources to make it easy! 🚀


• Donations can be made online or you can bring cash or check donations the day of your Plunge. 💵

Step 3. Plunge! ❄️

• When you arrive at your Plunge, make your first stop the welcome area. This is where you will check-in and pick up your incentives. 🎓


• Make your way to the changing tent 15-30 minutes before your Plunge time. ⛺


• PLUNGE! 🏊‍♀️❄️


• After you Plunge, head back to the changing tent, get into some dry clothes and shoes, and share your accomplishments with your donors and friends on social media!  Your fundraising page will remain open through the end of the Plunge season to receive more donations. 

Step 4: Bask in your generous glory ✨

Special Olympics Colorado wouldn’t be able to serve individuals with intellectual disabilities without YOU. Your support means EVERYTHING to us! 💪
