Bend Polar Plunge benefiting Special Olympics Oregon goes virtual, offers variety

In a normal year, the Plunge would take place in 5 locations throughout the State (Portland, Eugene, Corvallis, Bend and So. Oregon/Medford). However, nothing about the last year has been normal.  With safety of the athletes and Plunge participants as a priority, we won’t be gathering to Plunge together in 2021. Instead, the 2021 Polar Plunge is going virtual across Oregon to continue to support athletes during a time when we cannon host in-person events.

Recreating the craziness and magic of Polar Plunge in a virtual landscape might seem like a stretch. However, Special Olympics Oregon has created a choose your own adventure for this year’s event and a full lineup of virtual challenges and fun to engage our community throughout “Freezin’ February.”
