Why Participate?
Your participation will directly support our inclusive sports, health, schools and leadership programs for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
Through Special Olympics, our athletes build friendships, overcome obstacles and are empowered to realize their full potential. Success on the field leads to more opportunities in daily life as the community learns about the unique abilities and contributions of our athletes. All Special Olympics programs are provided at no cost to the athletes and their families thanks to your support.
What can you Expect?
You can expect an amazing time with some great people! The Polar Plunge is an iconic tradition in Special Olympics in which brave supporters raise funds and take a quick dip in chilly waters to show their dedication for Special Olympics athletes. The Plunge is a family event and costumes are encouraged! You'll have a blast and feel good knowing that the funds you raise will help us change lives.
Before the Plunge be a part of the 5K Fun Run along the beach trails.
