Hundreds of people will leap into the cold waters of Puget Sound at Alki Beach, many in teams, and all to raise funds for Special Olympics. The event will offer food trucks, DJ’s playing music and many special guests. The event begins at 11am and onsite registration starts at 10am.

From the Special Olympics website:

“With your support, Special Olympics Washington can continue to impact the lives of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). From year-round sports training and competitions, to health and leadership programs, your participation will help empower athletes to shatter stereotypes and exceed their personal bests on and off the playing field.

Whether you take the plunge or donate, proceeds from the Polar Plunge will fuel our Beyond Gold initiatives. Through this ambitious 5-year campaign, Beyond Gold will help us offer more life-changing and inclusive programs, and reach even more individuals with IDDs in Washington. Learn more at BeyondGoldWA.com.”
