Splash for Special Olympics with the 2nd Annual New Albany Polar Plunge

Move over Snow Angel Challenge…it’s time to plunge! Kick off February with a splash for Special Olympics Ohio with the New Albany Polar Plunge!

The New Albany Police Department is hosting one of the 14 statewide Polar Plunges with the The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) for Special Olympics. These Polar Plunge fundraisers raise over $1 million annually for Special Olympics Ohio to support the mission of promoting inclusion and empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities through sports, health, and leadership programs.

Join the New Albany Police Department team at the 2nd Annual Polar Plunge on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at New Albany High School Eagle Stadium. The fun starts at 11 a.m. with a costume contest, so dress to impress! Then, take a 20-foot water slide into an icy pool—all for a great cause.

We think the inflatable slide is a super fun twist on a Polar Plunge!
