Special Olympics Hawaii’s Paradise Plunge Fundraiser
Following the splashing success of Special Olympics Hawaii’s first Paradise Plunge, the fundraiser returns to make waves this summer for their second event. Last year the organization reinvented their traditional, in-person Polar Plunge event which previously allowed fundraisers to take the chilly plunge into a pool of ice water into a new, creative format called “Paradise Plunge.” The socially-distanced event allows participants to safely support local athletes by sharing a video or photo of themselves taking a dip in the ocean or performing any type of water activity – such as beach bodyboarding, surfing, or taking the plunge in a swimming pool. Registration for this year’s Paradise Plunge is now open at give.classy.org/paradiseplunge2021. For more information, please visit www.sohawaii.org.

The Paradise Plunge is open to individuals, families and student groups, and anyone else who wants to take the plunge to support Special Olympics Hawaii athletes. All plungers are asked to raise a minimum $100 donation to receive a Paradise Plunge event shirt. There is also a reduced fundraising goal of $50 for students of all ages, elementary through college. There are additional mahalo gifts for the plungers who raise $250, $500, $1,000 or more. Register as a Passionate Plunger and raise $500, or as a Super Plunger and raise $1,000.

Participants can take the plunge by planning a day to “sea” their favorite beach and going diving, boating, surfing, or even taking a dip in the swimming pool if they’d prefer. Plungers are asked to send photos or a 60-second, horizontal video clip of themselves performing their “Paradise Plunge” at www.wetransfer.com to development@sohawaii.org. The deadline for submissions is Sunday, July 11.
