Join Pure Abilities Recreational therapists, Behavior Consultants, Music Therapists, and PAC providers for the 2026 Special Olympics Polar Plunge Fort Wayne! Be bold. Get cold! Registration open at bit.ly/FWPlunge26 - support the athletes of Special Olympics Indiana.

Organized annually by a dedicated team of Special Olympics volunteers and supporters in northeast Indiana, our Fort Wayne Plunge invites members of the local community to Be Bold, Get Cold again this winter at Metea County Park!

Part of Special Olympics Indiana’s signature annual fundraising event series, the Polar Plunge challenges individuals and teams to brave the elements and take an icy dip to demonstrate their commitment to our cause.

Participants need to raise a minimum of $125 to earn the official Plunge t-shirt. Not only is this an exhilarating experience you’ll never forget, it’s also an incredible way to make a difference in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. All proceeds directly support training and competition opportunities for the more than 18,000 Special Olympics athletes throughout the state.
