In 2010, we hope to break 2008's participation record of 62 Plungers.  With your help, we can achieve our goal.  The Polar Plunge is your chance to have fun, wear a costume, and get a friend involved -- you'll be Freezin' for a Reason! Participants must raise a "bear" minimum of $75 to take a daring dip into the frigid winter waters of Lake Eliza.  If you cannot make this year's Plunge, please consider supporting this fundraising event and Special Olympics Indiana by making a donation to the Merrillville Plunge.  It's quick, safe, and easy.
