The Polar Plunge – Calgary challenged people to bravely jump into Arbour Lake. It’s a great way for everyone—individuals, organizations and businesses—to get involved in supporting Special Olympics Alberta.
This chilling event happens only once a year! Calgary kicked off the annual polar plunge on February 23rd.
Plungers must raise a minimum of $75 to jump to frozen glory, and can raise additional funds to earn extra incentives along the way. If you raise at least $250 you will receive flip flops and a Polar Plunge towel. Raise at least $750 and you’ll receive flip flops, a Polar Plunge towel and a Polar Plunger Under Armour duffle bag.
