What is a Polar Plunge?

As the name implies, the Polar Plunge is a winter fundraising event whereby individuals have the “honour” of bravely jumping into freezing cold waters in the middle of the bitter Saskatchewan winter. Individuals (and teams) are able to participate by securing donations from friends, family members, co-workers, local businesses, or their community. It’s a great way for everyone—individuals, organizations, and businesses—to get involved in support of Special Olympics and show winter who’s boss.

How Does the Polar Plunge Raise Money?

Plungers (individuals and teams) will pay the registration fee or fundraise the minimum requirement to be able to take part in the Plunge. Incentives will be given to Plungers and Plunging Teams based on how much money they raise in donations. Costumes are strongly encouraged! Registration now open!

*Please note: if you choose to raise your individual registration fee in pledges, you must have a minimum $100 in pledges before plunging. If you choose to raise your team registration fee in pledges, you must have a minimum $600 in pledges before plunging. Maximum number of plungers to make up a team is 8.
