THANK YOU PLUNGERS!

DONATIONS WILL STILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH MARCH 31!

Join Us for the Polar Plunge
Millerton Lake Crow’s Nest Boat Launch | March 15
The Theme is St. Patrick's Day!

Ready to brave the waters for Special Olympics Northern California? On March 15, join the Fresno County Polar Plunge, a fun dip, skip or jump into chilly waters for a great cause! The Polar Plunge is a global Special Olympics fundraising tradition where festive supporters splash into Lake Millerton in support of our athletes and mission. Gather your friends for this crazy event and come join the fun!

The Polar Plunge isn’t a swim: It's a celebration of community and inclusivity. It’s a chance to be with friends, make new connections, and have a good time all for a good cause. Part costume party, part test of will, the Plunge is all for the benefit of Special Olympics.

Plungers can brave the waters however they’d like, from dipping in a toe or two to a fully immersive splash. Don’t want to get wet? No worries! Register as a chicken and you can still raise funds, enjoy the festivities and help support Special Olympics. However you choose to participate, it's time to bear down for the Fresno County Polar Plunge.

HOW IT WORKS

Plungers can form or join teams, or sign up as an individual. Every Plunger must raise a minimum of $125 and will receive a Polar Plunge T-shirt and lunch. Cool School participants must raise a minimum of $50 to Plunge, but need to raise a minimum of $125 to earn the T-shirt and lunch. Everyone is encouraged to raise additional funds and earn cool incentive rewards. The more you raise, the more you can help directly impact the lives of Special Olympics athletes, their families, and our community.

DID SOMEONE SAY AWARDS?

We’ll also present awards to the top individual and team fundraisers, as well as for best costumes. That’s right! Everyone is encouraged to dress in costume for the Plunge. They aren't mandatory, but they’re a fun part of the global Polar Plunge tradition. So go with the flow and dress up, whether with your team or solo.
