Special Olympics Pennsylvania’s (SOPA) Polar Plunge— is a fundraising event in which individuals pledge $50 or more for the chance to run or jump into icy cold waters. In order to participate, individuals or teams collect pledges from friends, family, and colleagues to lock in their spot!

SOPA invites you to take the Polar Plunge! Proceeds raised go to help provide year round sports training and competition for 16,000 Pennsylvania athletes. Additionally, your contribution and involvement helps athletes achieve their goals, live healthier lives, and have a sense of inclusion in the community. If you cannot take the Plunge, participate in our Virtual Polar Pop, make a donation, or volunteer your time!

Are you brave enough to take the Polar Plunge?  Save the Dates!

All reasonable efforts will be made to hold scheduled in-person plunges which assure the safety of all participants. However, Special Olympics Pennsylvania reserves the right to modify or cancel events as circumstances surrounding COVID-19 evolve.
