Northern California's Polar Plunge 2012

Come on down to Crissy Field for the Special Olympics of Northern California's annual Polar Plunge this Saturday, February 25. This isn't your average Polar Bear Club swim, but a unique fundraising event to benefit the Special Olympics. Polar Plunge 2012 events across the country have raised over $1.12 million, the most ever in the history of the event.

Revel in the excitement as hundreds of brave souls take a dip in the frosty waters of the San Francisco Bay. Participating in the event is free but requires a minimum fundraising effort of $125. Awards will be given to wackiest costumes, top fundraisers, and more at the post plunge party immediately following the plunge.

Polar Plunge 2012 schedule:
10am – Registration
11:45am – Parade of Plungers
Noon – Plunger Costume Contest
12:15pm – Plunge
1:45pm – Post Plunge Party
