GREENWOOD, Ind. – Jumping into freezing water in the wintertime seems ridiculous, but for the past 24 years, thousands of people have braved the elements to support Special Olympics Indiana during the annual Polar Plunge.
The 2023 Polar Plunge season kicks off on January 28 and continues through March 4, with 18 different events around Indiana. The Greenwood Plunge is Saturday, February 4, at Dye’s Walk Country Club, with registration from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and the plunge at 11 a.m.
As Special Olympics Indiana’s signature fundraising series, participants must raise at least $85 for the chance to plunge at one of 15 locations statewide. More than 3,000 individuals take the plunge in a typical year.
Since its inception, the Polar Plunge has generated over $10 million for Special Olympics Indiana.
