Global Edmonton supports – 2023 Polar Plunge

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 2,500 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.

We have an ambitious fundraising goal of $150,000 this year, and we know that with our great supporters’ help we can smash that goal.

Plunges are taking place in Edmonton, Canmore, Calgary, Red Deer, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge this year.

By taking the plunge, you are helping our over 2,500 athletes from across Alberta participate in and experience the transformative power and joy of sport.

Let’s all get #FreezinForAReason in support of Special Olympics Alberta!
