2022 Polar Plunge- Fox Lake- B

Acompáñenos el febrero 20, 2022

Take the Fox Lake Plunge to Support the Athletes of Special Olympics Illinois

The Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run Polar Plunge presented by GEICO is excited to host this event again in 2022!

Plungers will have two options to participate:

Plunge OUR WAY at one of our Polar Plunge locations. Think open water and a SOILL-hosted event with all the traditional Plunge festivities.
Plunge YOUR Way and get creative to make it your own. If you can dream it, you can do it (safely, of course).

Do what works for you and your group. Just be BOLD and get COLD. Because again this winter, it’s not WHERE you Plunge, but THAT you Plunge.

Plunge OUR Way

Plunge OUR Way and join us on 02/20/2022 at Lakefront Park located at 71 Nippersink Blvd in Fox Lake. Registration will be from 10 am to noon with the plunge taking place at noon.

Plunge YOUR Way

We saw so much creativity last year when things had to look a little different than they had in the past. This is a way for you to create a Polar Plunge day to support the athletes of Special Olympics Illinois in a way that fits your needs. We’re talking dunk tanks. House parties with water balloons. Companies with parking lot kiddie pools.

And of course, don’t forget to document it! We are asking all Plungers to share their experiences with us and the Special Olympics Illinois community. Post it on social with the hashtag #BeBoldGetCold and tag our social profiles.

When coordinating your Plunge Your Way efforts, please review and adhere to these Best Practices. Do not attempt to jump into a lake, river or any other open body of water for the Plunge Your Way. Participants should not do anything that could physically harm themselves or others. Special Olympics Illinois is not responsible for any injuries that occur while participating in the Plunge Your Way event.

Official Polar Plunge Sweatshirt Information

All plungers who have reached their $100 fundraising minimum by midnight on January 26th, 2022 will be guaranteed their 2022 Polar Plunge sweatshirt the week of their local Plunge Our Way event. Plunge Your Way participants will be invited to attend one of the Region’s pre-registration events to pick-up their sweatshirt in the days prior to the event.

All participants who reach the $100 fundraising threshold after that date but before the final date will receive their sweatshirt after the conclusion of the 2022 Polar Plunge season. Donations may be submitted online via your personalized fundraising page or mailed to Special Olympics Illinois. Click here for details on how to submit offline donations.
