Nashville Polar Plunge

Trust us! It will be the coolest thing you do all year....

Come and join hundreds of brave individuals on Saturday, February 16th 2013, and support Special Olympics Tennessee athletes by running into the chilly waters of Percy Priest Lake at Nashville Shores (map).  With a minimum of $50 in donations each plunger receives the official long-sleeved Plunge t-shirt, complimentary lunch, two passes for the Celebration Party @ Wildhorse Saloon and all bragging rights associated with such a brave endeavor.

It's easy to participate!  Just follow these 3 steps:

Step 1.   You need to register online or complete the registration form  and mail to Special Olympics Tennessee. 

Step 2.    Begin collecting donations to support your plunge.  Use the donation form  or create a Personal Online Fundraising page (just think your own personal webpage...you're famous).
