Description

The sixth annual Terre Haute Polar Plunge is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 15.  The fundraiser for Special Olympics Indiana will take place on Hulman Center's south patio in conjunction with Indiana State University’s annual Sycamore Hoopla weekend. Check-in begins at 8 a.m. with plunging beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Participants can register as individuals or as part of a team or company.  Participants must raise a "bear" minimum of $75 to plunge ($50 minimum for students with a student ID).  All proceeds will benefit Special Olympics athletes, giving them the opportunity to train locally and compete at the state level in a variety of Olympic-type sports.

Plungers will compete for awards for the best costume, most money raised by an individual, most money raised by a team and a special Campus Challenge award for the largest campus group of plungers. The Terre Haute plunge is part of the College Challenge. Indiana State is competing against Butler, Purdue, Indiana, Ball State and Valparaiso universities to raise the most money and for bragging rights.
