Dive into the fun and chill of winter for a great cause at the 2026 Emporia Polar Plunge, proudly supporting Special Olympics Kansas. Bring your friends, co-workers, family—or take the plunge solo—and experience the coolest pool party of the year!
Every dollar you raise or contribute goes directly to Special Olympics Kansas, helping thousands of athletes gain access to sports, health and nutrition programs, leadership opportunities, and inclusive community experiences. Whether you’re the one jumping in or cheering from the sidelines, your involvement makes a meaningful difference.
