2014 Pittsburgh Polar Bear Plunge

The Pittsburgh Polar Bear Plunge Weekend on Friday, December 5th and Saturday, December 6th, 2014, is Special Olympics Pennsylvania’s largest fundraiser, grossing over 1 million dollars during the first four years.

Individuals and teams, alongside Special Olympics athletes, take the plunge into the chilly Ohio River, on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, outside Heinz Field. The water may be chilly but the smiles of our athletes will warm your heart.

The Pittsburgh Plunge also hosts a fun and interactive Plunge Town, full of free food and activities for all ages, warm holding and changing tents, and large LED screens which allow attendees to view the plunge from Plunge Town, the waters edge and spectator viewing area.
