The Polar Plunge is a unique opportunity to support our Special Olympics athletes by taking a flying leap – a leap into the frigid waters of Manteno Lake.
Plungers raise at least $75 in donations from friends, family and co-workers in exchange for jumping into the icy waters in the middle of winter. Each plunger receives a Polar Plunge sweatshirt and entrance into a Post-Plunge Party, plus the chance to win additional prizes for raising more money.
There is a free lunch provided for those who take the plunge, and it costs $7.50 for guests. Prizes and awards will also be given out.
