Special Olmypics Hawai'i's Polar Plunge | ||||||
It’s no April Fool’s joke. Special Olympics Hawai’i’s popular Polar Plunge is returning for an eighth year on Saturday, April 1, 2017. The event will take place at Waterfront Plaza on the lawn fronting Ala Moana Boulevard, beginning at 9 a.m. with plunging every hour until noon. Inspired by the popular Disney film “Moana,” this year participants can channel their inner demi-god or goddess as they venture 36 feet down and 95 feet across an inflatable slide, before plunging into a sea of ice cold water. Plunging participants are asked to reach a minimum $100 fundraising goal for each plunge. Those who raise more than $100 can take an additional plunge and those that raise $500 or more can plunge six times. Registration is now open online at www.sohawaii.org. Students of all ages, elementary through college, can also join in the fun and take the plunge for a reduced minimum fundraising goal of $50. The Too Cool for Schools Challenge begins at 9 a.m. and allows students to raise funds with their classmates and represent their school. Super cool participants can also register as a “Super Plunger” and take the plunge 12 times in six hours. Super Plungers pledge to raise a minimum of $1,000 and will receive a special prize package, VIP treatment and meals throughout the day. The Super Plunge begins at 7 a.m. and will conclude at 1 p.m. Awards will be given to the Polar Plunging individual and team who raise the most funds. All participants will receive a plunge t-shirt and can earn other incentive gifts. Special Olympics Hawai‘i provides year-round sports programs for athletes free of charge. All funds raised through the Polar Plunge will directly support the programs and cover the costs of facility rentals, equipment, food, lodging, and transportation at the State Games held three times a year.
