How Special Olympics Fundraises

Special Olympics Wisconsin is proud to be back at Loopy's Grill & Saloon for another unforgettable Polar Plunge! Come one, come all, and take the plunge to support thousands of athletes across Wisconsin—every splash makes a difference!

When you donate to Special Olympics Wisconsin, you are not giving to an event. You are strengthening our mission pillars — inclusion, health, leadership, and community. Your dollar becomes a starting line. A finish line. A high five. A medal. A moment of “I can.” And for many of our athletes, that belief changes the trajectory of their entire lives. You can donate today or even organize your own Alternative Polar Plunge through March 31 — but most importantly, you can choose to give: https://bit.ly/40jnXri Because when you invest in our athletes, you invest in courage. In confidence. In dignity. In joy. And that impact lasts far beyond the water. 💙

Show Wisconsin what inclusion looks like! The Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Wisconsin is our largest and most unique grassroots fundraiser.

It will be an unforgettable weekend for a great cause!
