By Ashley Allenby | Donor Services Manager

This year's plungers raised $464,000 for Special Olympics Oregon!
Thank you to all who donated, plunged, volunteered, and made this years plunge a BLAST! Plunges were held in Portland, Eugene, Medford, Bend and Corvallis and had nearly 3,500 people jumping into the icy cold waters! This included over 300 cops and 21 local programs made up of Special Olympics athletes.
Without plungers and donors, this event wouldn't be possible. If you were one of the plungers, a HUGE thank you goes out to you for fundraising and braving the cold water! If you were a donor, a HUGE thank you goes out to you for supporting your friends, family, co-workers and Special Olympics Oregon!
Even though the plunge is over, we are still accepting donations for this year's plunge so please click the link below to help Special Olympics Oregon!

The 2013 Polar Plunge is off to a great start! So far 1,400 Plungers have raised over $92,000 to support Special Olympics Oregon!
We still have a long way to go to hit our goal of $510,000. Please help us.
Think about how much warmth can come out of so much cold! Your support changes lives of the largest disability population in the state. As a "plunger" you register to participate in one of the five plunges around the state. Maybe you join a team. Maybe not. Then you raise a minimum of $50 in pledges from friends and family (but the more you raise, the bigger your incentive prizes). Then on plunge day you run or jump into the water and get out as fast as you can. You decide how far you want to go in. It's all done for fun and to raise money for a great cause.

Take the Plunge!

It's what happens when thousands of people around Oregon run into icy cold water to raise money for Special Olympics Oregon. As a "plunger" you register to participate in one of the five plunges around the state. Maybe you join a team. Maybe not. Then you raise a minimum of $50 in pledges from friends and family (but the more you raise, the bigger your incentive prizes). Then on plunge day you run or jump into the water and get out as fast as you can. You decide how far you want to go in. It's all done for fun and to raise money for a great cause.
Every three plungers allows one athlete to compete in Special Olympics Oregon's for an ENTIRE season. 10 seconds of being uncomfortable in the frigid waters of Oregon to provide months of training to the largest disability population in the state! The water is cold enough. Are you bold enough?
Plunge Dates:
February 1, 2013 Medford
February 2, 2013 Eugene
February 9, 2013 Portland & Corvallis
February 16, 2013 Bend
