Freezin’ February
Oregonians have a longstanding and beloved tradition of Plunging into frigid waters every February to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics Oregon. With safety of the athletes and Plunge participants as a priority, we won't be gathering to Plunge together in 2021, but there's the good news: Polar Plunge 2021 is going BRRR...tual (virtual)!

Use your imagination and BE SAFE!
We are overwhelmed by your commitment, enthusiasm, and creativity in transforming the current circumstances into a super-supporter Virtual Plunge event.
An important caution: Cold/freezing/frozen water presents obvious and not-so-obvious dangers and is risky at any depth to people of any age, mobility, or health status. You must – MUST – exercise caution and personal responsibility in your Virtual Plunge activities! SOOR cannot identify or control the risks of every Virtual Plunge activity and has not endorsed or approved as safe any specific Virtual Plunge activity.
Be smart, be safe, and be careful – for you and all who join you in your Virtual Plunge activity. In whatever form your Virtual Plunge takes, follow all applicable water (and freezing water) safety and COVID-19 protocols. Have fun with it; but above all, BE SAFE.
