NEW Agency Virtual Polar Plunge
And new this year, agencies now have two awesome ways to take the Plunge! New in 2020 is the SOWI Agency Virtual Polar Plunge. Exclusive to SOWI agencies, the Virtual Polar Plunge will give agencies the opportunity to raise funds online and receive their 25% revenue share (rebate) without having to travel to a Polar Plunge!
Virtual Plunge Details
- Agency teams have the freedom to decide how they want to participate in the Virtual Polar Plunge—a dip in a swimming pool, a spray from a garden hose, an icy glass of water? Just no lakes, rivers, etc. as we do with our traditional Polar Plunge events where we have onsite crews to ensure the safety of all participants.
- Virtual Polar Plunges should occur during February 2020 and only Special Olympics Wisconsin agencies can participate.
- Different from our traditional Polar Plunge events, participants will pay a $25 registration fee which will go toward the team’s fundraising goal.
- The Virtual Polar Plunge will be based on online donations only. Agencies are eligible to receive a 25% rebate on all donations raised online. Rebates can be used to help support your athletes, host parties, cover transportation costs, purchase uniforms, etc.
Virtual Plunge Incentives
Incentives will be earned as a team! Below are the prize levels in addition to the 25% agency rebate:
- Raise $2,000 = Receive $50 VISA Gift Card
- Raise $3,500 = Receive $100 VISA Gift Card
- Raise $5,000 = Receive $150 VISA Gift Card
