Polar Plunge

Get Freezin for a Reason this December! Special Olympics Ireland has been running the Annual Polar Plunge for 20 years in collaboration with the Law Enforcement Torch Run to raise funds to support Special Olympics athletes in communities across the country.

We are so excited to have four events returning this December, in addition to our popular virtual Polar Plunge challenge. Our long-term charity partner, Gala Retail, is kindly supporting the Polar Plunge once again to make it bigger and better than ever!
