Brrrrrrrr... Is it freezing in here or is it just us?! Anyway, WELCOME!

The Polar Plunge is a thrilling event where participants take a frosty dip in a pool or lake to raise funds and support Special Olympics Pennsylvania.

Outside of the exhilarating pool deck or beautiful lake view, you can join us in PlungeTown for fun games and tasty food.

Whether you take the Plunge with friends, family, coworkers, or on your own, we’re ready to see you this winter!

You can join any number of Polar Plunge types and locations throughout the state by visiting this page! Here's a little more info on each Plunge type!

• General Plunge: Local community plunges into a cold body of water, such as a lake, river or icy pool.
• Cool Schools Plunge: School-based competition with teams of kindergarten through high school students, teachers and staff who plunge, raise funds and raise awareness for Special Olympics together.
• Business/Happy Hour Plunge: A networking and company bonding event that includes business professionals and corporate partners plunging into a pool of icy water all while raising funds for Special Olympics Pennsylvania.
• Super Plunge: Dedicated participants plunge 24 times over a four-hour period. The Super Plunge is designed for Plungers committed to raising significant funds throughout the season.

It's FUN!

Plus, the Polar Plunge has a rich history with Special Olympics Pennsylvania, growing from a single event to a statewide movement. Our first Plunge took place 22 years ago, but it has since blossomed into one of the most anticipated and coolest fundraising events of the year.

Every dollar raised from the Polar Plunge directly benefits Special Olympics Pennsylvania, helping to provide year-round sports training and competition for over 15,000 athletes around the state. Your Plunge makes a powerful impact, promoting inclusion through sport.

We have nine in-person Plunge locations across Pennsylvania! Find the one nearest you and start fundraising today!

If in-person isn't you're thing (or you'd like to support us outside of Pennsylvania) we offer a virtual Polar Pop that you can do from any place at any time!

Last year, we broke records and made history like never before!

In total, Special Olympics Pennsylvania Polar Plunges raised over $2.4 million! Across the state, over 13,000 Plungers braved the icy waters and helped us reach this incredible milestone.

Will you be a part of this year’s history?
