Polar Bear Plunge
Saturday, February 23, 2008 @ 10:30AM
The Polar Bear Plunge is a very unique fundraising event for Special Olympics Washington.  Plungers will be “Freezin for a Reason” on Saturday, February 23, 2008 at Waterfront Park in Medical Lake.  Participants “taking the plunge” will collect pledges, in exchange for jumping into the icy waters of Medical Lake in the middle of winter.  Anyone with a little guts and a warm heart wanting to support Special Olympics is welcome to plunge.  Each plunger must raise a minimum of $50 in donations in order to take the Plunge and receive a long-sleeved official Polar Bear Plunge T-Shirt.  Other incentive prizes are also available. For the more hesitant souls, there is always plenty of room for spectators!  There is no other event like this to bring a group closer together, if only to stay warm!  Learn More
