Make a splash with the Polar Plunge Cool Schools Challenge, a fun and easy way for Northern California schools to raise money for both your campus and Special Olympics NorCal athletes.
How It Works

Where: Right on your school campus or anywhere in Northern California. You can use a pool, run through the sprinklers, or even have a water balloon fight!
Who: Open to students, teachers, and administrators.
When: Host your Cool Schools Plunge on a date that works best for your campus.
Why:
- The Polar Plunge builds school spirit, teaches teamwork and citizenship, and supports thousands of Special Olympics Northern California athletes.
