Polar Plunge

It’s that time of year to start planning for the #ChillofaLifetime! Special Olympics Kentucky is hosting four Polar Plunge events the state: Lake Cumberland, Lexington, Louisville and Western Kentucky.  Your participation helps provide opportunities for the more than 11,300 athletes who participate in Special Olympics Kentucky sport and health programs across the state.
