The 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 the lake at Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park. Prizes for the top individual fundraisers 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 as a Personal Plunger. You get a Plunge shirt and are eligible for all other fundraising awards.

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