Calling all thrill seekers! Gather your colleagues, convince the boss, and take a Plunge for a great cause!

Are you ready to get “Freezin’ for a Reason”?

Join the Philadelphia Navy Yard and Special Olympics Pennsylvania as we host the inaugural Navy Yard Polar Plunge. Plungers commit to raise a minimum of $75 to dip a toe, slowly lower themselves, or jump into the icy waters of our mobile plunge unit, Bear Force One. Create a team and encourage your coworkers to join you!

Not quite ready to “take the plunge”? Spectators can chill and cheer on individuals or teams from the viewing areas. It’s not just a Plunge. Connect with your fellow Navy Yard colleagues as you enjoy food, games, music, and more!

All the money you raise through the Navy Yard Polar Plunge will ensure quality sports training, competition, leadership training, and health initiatives for our Special Olympics Pennsylvania athletes in the Philadelphia region.
