Plunge Our Way

Choosing to Plunge OUR Way this year? We are excited to have you. This version of the 2022 Polar Plunge might look familiar to those who have participated in the past. If you choose to Plunge OUR Way, you will be attending one of the many in-person Polar Plunges hosted directly by Special Olympics Illinois. 

Plunge Your Way

Taking the Plunge into your own hands this year? We can’t wait to see what you come up with! This Plunge option is for those who want to get creative with how they BE BOLD and GET COLD this winter. This can be a snowball or water balloon fights at home; hosting a (safe) gathering with friends, family, or coworkers; or something we haven’t even thought of yet. The winter sky is the limit!
