ORLANDO, Fla.
(January 24, 2013) - Aquatica is pleased to be hosting the
fourth annual Special Olympics Florida Polar Plunge® 2013 on Saturday, February
2. Individuals and teams, alongside Special Olympics athletes, families,
sponsors and community members will experience heart-warming and bone
chilling-extremes as they take the plunge into the cold Aquatica wave pool to
raise money for Special Olympics Florida.
Hundreds of
“Plungers” are expected to participate in the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics
Florida – and there’s still plenty of time to join in this unique, wacky event.
In addition to jumping into cold water for a good cause, a highlight of the
annual event is the array of crazy costumes Plungers are encouraged to wear in
the name of fun.
You can take the Plunge individually or with a team, and
everyone who raises a minimum of $100 may Plunge. For just $100 in pledges,
Plungers will receive admission to Aquatica, an All-Day Food Pass, official
Polar Plunge® T-shirt and two spectator passes. There are numerous incentives
for individuals to raise additional funds, including tickets to Aquatica,
SeaWorld and Discovery Cove. In addition, plungers can stay and enjoy Aquatica
all day after the event.
