In 2009, we will be celebrating our tenth anniversary partnering with Indy Parks at the Eagle Creek location.  We hope to break 2007's participation record of 543 Plungers.  With your help, we can achieve our goal.  The Polar Plunge is your chance to have fun, wear a costume, and get a friend involved -- you'll be Freezin' for a Reason! Participants must raise a "bear" minimum of $75 to take a daring dip into the frigid winter waters of Eagle Creek Reservoir.  If you cannot make this year's Plunge, please consider supporting this fundraising event and Special Olympics Indiana by making a donation to the Indianapolis Plunge.  It's quick, safe, and easy.
