What is the Cool School Plunge?

The Cool School Plunge is an event designed specifically for students, staff and families of schools to participate in the Polar Plunge. While receiving a fun and educational experience about Special Olympics Minnesota (SOMN), the Cool School Plunge aims to teach youth from a young age about inclusion. Students will participate in the Polar Plunge and also interact firsthand with SOMN and learn more about ways they can get involved with SOMN programs. Students are encouraged to challenge others within their school as well as neighboring schools to participate! Separate men's and women's heated changing tents are provided on-site, as well as a heated tunnel to warm up in afterwards! Cool School Plunge* teams can also take part in our Give Back, Get Unified Fundraiser** to benefit their school. Cool School Plunge participants must raise a minimum of $75 to participate in the event and are encouraged to raise additional funds and earn prizes along the way. All participants will receive: $75 — Long-sleeved shirt $150 — Long-sleeved shirt and baseball hat $300 — Long-sleeved shirt and quarter zip $500 — Long-sleeved shirt and sweatshirt $750 — Long-sleeved shirt and wind jacket $1,000 — Long-sleeved shirt and backpack $1,500 — Long-sleeved shirt and puffer jacket $3,000 — All incentives!
