Where in the World do You Want to Go?

Take the Plunge

The Polar Plunge is a unique opportunity for individuals, organizations, and businesses to support local Special Olympics athletes by jumping or running into the icy waters of Wisconsin. Since its inception eleven years ago, Wisconsin Plungers have helped raise $8 million for Special Olympics. Children and adults with cognitive disabilities who participate in Special Olympics develop improved physical fitness and motor skills, greater self-confidence and a more positive self-image. In 2009 7,850 Plungers raised a total of $1,509,071 for Special Olympics during the eleven Plunges in Wisconsin!

This year there are twelve Plunges statewide to choose from. If you're too chicken to make the splash, you can still participate. Sign up as "Too chicken to Plunge" or show your support by making a pledge to a braver soul. Get your "License to Chill" and take the Plunge.
