Tell me more about this good cause.
All of the money raised at the 2025 Polar Plunge will support Special Olympics Missouri athletes.
Special Olympics Missouri is a year-round program of sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Thousands of athletes participate in 13 Olympic-type sports throughout the state. Special Olympics provides people with intellectual disabilities continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy as they participate in the sharing of gifts and friendship with their fellow athletes, their family and friends and communities across Missouri.
Special Olympics Missouri is proud of our financial health returning 83% of every dollar back to program services. We are privileged to be recognized with these honors: Better Business Bureau A+ Charity Accreditation, Charity Navigator 4-star rating and Guidestar Gold Level. Special Olympics was also recently named Morning Consult’s No. 5 most trusted nonprofit.
Thank you for trusting us with your donations, volunteer time and your goodwill.

It’s easier to raise money for a cause when you personally know someone who will be affected by your generosity. Meet your local Plunge Ambassadors!
Our Plunge Ambassadors work for months to help spread awareness of each of our events. They also each serve on their respective planning committees. Many of them even elect to take the Plunge as well!
