Are you ready to be a part of the most freezing-ist fundraiser in town?  Come join Special Olympics Texas by plunging into the chilly waters of Waco at the annual Polar Plunge! This frigid event is at Hawaiian Falls Water Park on February 8.  The Polar Plunge allows participants to leap into ice cold water while raising money for SOTX.

Registration begins at 10:00 a.m. and the first plunge is at 11:00 a.m. The event will wrap up at 12:00 p.m. and with an awards ceremony for Best Costume. The cost to test these chilly waters is $60 for adults and $30 for children under the age of 18. Proceeds support over 1,050 athletes in the Heart of Texas area.
