Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Alberta

Join Law Enforcement officers and the brr-ave at heart for the first in-person event since 2019. Participants will take the plunge in support of Special Olympics Alberta and its over 2,537 Special Olympics Athletes!

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 Alberta winter. They 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.

Participants need to be 16 years of age or older to participate.

How Does the Polar Plunge Raise Money?
Plungers 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 based on how much money they raise in donations. Costumes are strongly encouraged! Select Register and start raising funds either individually (onsite or virtually) or as part of a team. For all registrants, there is a $50 registration fee. Registrants will receive an electronic $25 tax receipt.
