A BIG Achievement We Achieved Together in the 2025 Polar Plunge Season!
Last year’s Polar Plunge season was nothing short of remarkable, raising a Record-Breaking $1,176,390 for Special Olympics Ontario! From our humble beginnings in 2013 with just three plunges to hosting 35 plunges in 2025. The dedication of our community continues to surpass all expectations, making an incredible impact on the lives of our athletes.
As we look ahead to the 2025 season, we celebrate not only this milestone but also the history we’ve built together since Owen Sound hosted the first Polar Plunge in Ontario in 1999. With over $5.6 MILLION raised to date, each plunge strengthens our mission and brings us closer to a more inclusive world.
Whether you’re a returning plunger, a first-time participant, or a loyal supporter, your involvement makes a difference. Let’s dive into 2026 with even more enthusiasm, and together, we’ll continue to break records and transform lives!
