Brainerd Polar Plunge
March 7, 2026 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
What’s more Minnesota than jumping into a frozen lake in the middle of winter?
The Polar Plunge is the biggest fundraiser for Special Olympics Minnesota. All funds raised by Plungers help Special Olympics Minnesota provide year-round training and services to thousands of athletes with intellectual disabilities across the state. Fundraising is required to participate in the Polar Plunge, but the minimum of $75 makes a big-time impact—especially at times when we need it most!
The Brainerd Plunge has raised over $1,457,320 in its 20-year history. In 2025, 227 Plungers raised $63,200!
