Take the plunge for Special Olympics

CDCR teams stand beside lake before jumping in for Special Olympics.
Costumes and fun were had as CDCR volunteers raised money for Special Olympics in 2022.

2023 Special Olympics Polar Plunge

It’s time to make a splash – the 2023 Special Olympics Polar Plunge is right around the corner.

This year’s theme is “Super Heroes” – and CDCR/CCHCS is full of those. Show your support to the Special Olympics and either join an existing team or grab friends/co-workers and create your own.

All proceeds benefit Special Olympics California which provides sports, education, leadership and health programs to children and adults with intellectual disabilities.  CDCR/CCHCS is a continued supporter and partner with Special Olympics.
