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)!
Join us as we 'BRRR...tually' Plunge across Oregon!

Use your imagination and BE SAFE!
Have a buddy or lifeguard if you are plunging in bodies of water such as a swimming pool.
The in-person Polar Plunge is safe because we have a professional dive team in the water and emergency responders on site. Do not do anything that could physically harm yourself or others.
