Want to jump in freezing cold water for a good cause? ⛄

Want to help raise money for Special Olympics?

The Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will be participating in the polar plunge and invites all athletes, coaches, and faculty to join.

Everyone is welcome to jump with us (this includes faculty, coaches, student athletes, other UMM students, non UMM students, friends, parents, siblings, etc).

It is on February 25th in Alexandria

Register online to jump ASAP

Set your goal to $75 (you can always go and raise if you are going to raise more money)

Money can be raised online, cash, or checks. (Checks should be made out to Special Olympics Minnesota” or “SOMN.”) Cash and checks will be turned in on the day we jump when you check in.

Half of the money we raise will go into our account to run other special Olympic events in the next years, like the unified basketball tourney!

We'll send out more information as we get closer to the jump
