Polar Plunge®

Let’s Freeze! Whether you plunge solo or with coworkers, friends or family – for the ultimate bonding experience – we’ll help you take “cool” up a degree or two.

Being a Plunger means cooling your body while warming hearts. The Polar Plunge® is a signature fundraiser for Special Olympics and offers a unique opportunity for individuals and organizations to raise money and support Special Olympics Iowa athletes by jumping into frigid waters. The more you raise, the more great Polar Plunge® gear you can earn! Incentive prizes start at $250. View Incentives
