Big Bear Polar Plunge is back!

Run, walk, or dance into the chilly waters of Big Bear Lake on March 29th to raise funds for Special Olympics Southern California (SOSC) in San Bernardino and Riverside counties!

The Polar Plunge is an event created to raise funds for Special Olympics Inland Empire. For just a minimum of $50, you can participate in the coolest event of 2025 – the Polar Plunge. Not only will you brave the cold waters, but you’ll have the opportunity to earn incentives, party with friends, and be freezin’ for a reason: to help support Special Olympics.

There are three (3) ways you can participate in the Polar Plunge:

 

  •  Register as a Plunger – create a fundraising page to collect donations online.
  • Start or Join a Team – fundraise together on your team page.
  • Make a Donation – Too chicken to plunge? Support the cause from dry land.
  • Donate an Auction Item to the Big Bear Polar Plunge raffle/silent auction.

 

The Polar Plunge will help fund Special Olympics Inland Empire programs in your community. Special Olympics Southern California enriches the lives of athletes with intellectual disabilities and their communities through sports, education, and athlete health.
