Tim's Rivershore Polar Plunge Festival

The Polar Plunge

Since its inception 18 years ago, more than 28,000 plungers have raised more than $5.5 million for Special Olympics Virginia. Children and adults with intellectual disabilities who participate in Special Olympics develop improved physical fitness and motor skills, greater self-confidence and a more positive self-image.

The Polar Plunge® Winter Festival is Special Olympics Virginia’s largest fundraiser, attracting more than 10,000 people to an otherwise deserted beachfront in February. Individuals and teams, alongside our athletes and thousands of community members, experience heartwarming and bone chilling extremes as they take the plunge into the icy Atlantic Ocean in the height of winter! Anyone can participate; those under 18 must have a parent or guardian signature.

Tim's Rivershore Polar Plunge

Join us Feb. 26, 2011 in Northern Virginia for the 9th Annual Tim’s Rivershore Polar Plunge® Festival benefiting Special Olympics Virginia. Live music, costume contests, prizes and more – don’t miss the chance to prove you’re FAN enough to take the Plunge for a great cause.

For just $100 in pledges – the cost to Plunge – Plungers automatically will receive an official Tim’s Rivershore Plunge T-Shirt! Plus, the more money you raise, the more cool stuff you can get, like two round trip tickets on JetBlue (awarded to the top fundraiser based on funds collected by the event’s end).
