The Lake Cumberland Polar Plunge is the Chill of a Lifetime! Join us for the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics.
Raise a minimum of $100 (or $65 for Polar Bears under 18) and take a chilly dip into Lake Cumberland from the backs of Lee’s Ford Resort house boats. Prizes for the top individual fundraiser and for the top fundraising teams in corporate/civic, school and law enforcement divisions. There are also prizes for the best individual and group costumes.

Can’t plunge, but still want to support Special Olympics? No problem. Register for the Personal Plunge. You can take the Plunge your way whenever and wherever you want. You still receive a Polar Plunge T-shirt and are eligible for all other fundraising awards.

Either way, you’ll be Freezin’ for a Reason!
