Auburn, Ala. - The 13th Annual Auburn Polar Plunge to support the Lee County Special Olympics will be held Saturday, Jan. 18 at the City of Auburn’s Samford Pool beginning at 9 a.m.

The goal of the Auburn Polar Plunge is to raise financial support for the brave athletes of the Lee County Special Olympics. You can help with this great cause by registering to take the frigid plunge on at Samford Pool!

In 2024, over $15,000 was raised for the Special Olympic Athletes. The goal in 2025 is to surpass last year’s pledges. Once a participant registers, the goal is to get as many people as possible to “sponsor” the plunge.

There is a $15 fee to register and these fees will go towards Special Olympics Lee County, too. All participants are encouraged to fundraise and join in for a fun frigid day in support of a very worthy cause! To register online visit www.auburnalabama.org/parks/register. Create a MyRec account and sign up. Bring your donations the day of the Plunge in check or cash format. Make checks payable to Lee County Special Olympics. Registration opens Monday, Dec. 2 at 8 a.m. Register by Jan. 6, 2025 to be guaranteed a t-shirt!
