Join us for the COOLEST pool party of the year! Bringing a lighthearted twist to our icy tradition, this pool party is about coming together, making memories, and celebrating inclusive fun that provides Special Olympics Kansas athletes with opportunities to thrive on and off the field. Organize a team of your friends, co-workers, family, or choose to go solo. Every dollar raised will go towards Special Olympics programming to support athletes by providing them a space to practice and compete, have healthier lifestyles, and a sense of belonging in their community. If you cannot take the Plunge, but want to support – you can make a donation, volunteer your time, or come out to support others!
