The Polar Plunge is a unique opportunity for individuals, organizations, and businesses to support SOWV by jumping or slowly crawling into the frigid pool waters set up inside Appalachian Power Park on January 30th. Rest assured that the water will be nice and cold just for you!

If your family and friends are too chicken to take the plunge, have them show their support by making a pledge to a braver soul and invite them to watch all of the exciting action in person at the ball park (the jumbo scoreboard will be on to capture every single plunge!) So grab a towel and grab a friend and be included as one of the folks to plunge in Charleston.

To Register

In order to participate be sure to raise a minimum of $50 for the privilege to plunge.

Raising more is encouraged and prizes go to individuals and groups who raise the most. All proceeds collected by plungers benefit the Special Olympics of West Virginia (SOWV) athletes, the many games, and training events throughout the year in West Virginia.
