Polar
Plunge 2010
Be
invigorated as never before! Take the Polar Plunge into
the Pacific Ocean to benefit the Special Olympics Southern
California San Diego County athletes!
On Saturday February 27th, Law Enforcement agencies
as well as members from the community will jump into
the 60 degree ocean to raise money, win rewards and
have a good time!
The Oceanside and Carlsbad Police Department’s have
long been fundraising partners with Special Olympics.
This is the 4th annual Polar Plunge and the goal is
to raise $20,000 for Special Olympics San Diego County
athletes.
We will begin with registration followed by a short
program at 8:30am then take the plunge at 10am. Once
we are done at 11:30, we encourage everyone to have
lunch at Joe’s Crab Shack, about a mile away.
As one of our sponsors, Joe’s Crab Shack will be donating
a portion of all Polar Plunge Participant proceeds that
day to Special Olympics!
If you are interested in taking the plunge we ask all
participants to raise $50.00 minimum, but of course
encourage you to raise more. All participants receive
a Polar Plunge shirt as well as different incentive
items depending on how much money you raise.
To register and for details please call Teresa Contreras
@ 619-283-6100 or go to our website at www.sosc.org/sdplunge
We encourage all athletes to come out and enjoy the
day with us!
