Where:

On your school campus, at an official Polar Plunge event, or…anywhere else in Northern California.

Who:

Open to students, teachers, staff, administrators, and families.

When:

Host your Polar Plunge on the date that works best for your school.

Why:

Build school spirit, strengthen your campus community, and support thousands of Special Olympics NorCal Athletes – all while raising money for your own school.

  • Earn Rewards :
    • Raise $50 and receive an “I Made a Splash for Special Olympics” wristband.
    • Raise $125 and also earn a long-sleeve Polar Plunge T-shirt and lunch.
    • Schools that raise $1,500 or more receive 30% of the funds raised back to support their campus.

One Plunge. Two great causes. A whole lot of fun.
