The Polar Plunge is a unique fundraising series with 8 locations across Colorado where participants fundraise for the opportunity to run or jump into a cold pool or reservoir. Each Polar Plunge location is unique and has safety personnel on-site and in the water, heated changing tents or rooms, and a fun atmosphere to get you excited for the Plunge!

The rules are simple: Stay home, get cold, be safe and don’t forget to snap a selfie or record a video!
WHY PLUNGE?
- Show that your school stands for inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities in your community
- Earn up to 50% of funds raised back to your school’s Special Education program! (Note: must be a Unified Champion School. Not sure if you are or want to become one? Email rbrady@specialolympicsco.org.)
- Camaraderie! There’s no greater feeling than doing something together as a team for the greater good of your community!
- The Highest Fundraising school in the state will receive a special visit from a Professional Athlete (i.e. Broncos or Rockies or Nuggets).
The schools with the highest amount fundraised were visited by Kyle Freeland from the Rockies and Dalton Risner from the Broncos!
