2025 Lake Tahoe Polar Plunge

About 2025 Lake Tahoe Plunge

November 16 @ Camp Richardson Resort Beach

Be a part of this epic fundraising tradition. Join the Lake Tahoe Polar Plunge and take a fun dip, skip or jump into Lake Tahoe for a great cause! If the thought of chilly water is "unBEARable," get the thrill without the chill. Register as a chicken and be excused from Plunging but still enjoy all the festivities.

Everyone must raise a minimum of $125 and will receive a Polar Plunge T-shirt and enjoy post Plunge festivities. Participants are encouraged to raise additional funds and earn incentive rewards.  

HOW IT WORKS

  • Rally Your Crew (or Plunge Solo!)
    Grab your besties, coworkers, or family and jump in together!
  • Pick a Fearless Leader & Name Your Squad
    Elect a team captain and brainstorm the most epic team name. (Extra points for puns and frosty humor!)
  • Hit that Register Button
    Sign up and officially join the coolest event of the season.  Pro tip:  Early birds get more time to plan their costumes!
  • Fundraise like a Pro
    Spread the word and raise those critical funds for Special Olympics NorCal.  You're not just plunging - you are making a difference!
  • Suit Up and Show Up
    Costumes are strongly encouraged - go big or go home!  Then bring your energy, smiles and maybe a towel!  Time to take the Plunge!

Ready to make waves?  Let's do this!

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?

The Polar Plunge is an iconic tradition in Special Olympics in which brave supporters take a chilly winter dip to show their dedication for our athletes. Our 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.  


We have a variety of sponsorship opportunities.
