Support Special Olympics MT with an icy winter dip
Support Montana’s Special Olympics athletes with a harsh dip into icy winter waters! The 2022 President’s Polar Plunge will take place Saturday, February 19th at Glen Lake Rotary Park (formerly the East Gallatin Recreation Area), just off Manley Road.
Sponsored by a number of local businesses and community members, plungers will take to the glacial waters at 1pm. Check-in will be held from 11:30am–12:30pm. Note: There is NO parking at the Recreation Area. Please arrange a drop-off or take the provided shuttle service. Thousands of plungers have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars since 2002 with this annual event. Let’s take this haul to the next level!
Attendees need not submerge themselves should they still like to offer their support on the sidelines while observing daring members of the community freeze for a purpose. The event is meant to band people together from this and neighboring communities in an effort to raise awareness. The Plunge entertains, while advocating for and representing the place we all call home.
