That’s right; we know how much you enjoyed last year’s Solar Plunge so Special Olympics Virginia is bringing it back! The 2019 Solar Plunge returns to Summer Games at the University of Richmond on June 8th!
SOVA is making it even easier for our Athletes, their families and other volunteers to plunge during the Summer Games. The Plunge has been moved to Saturday June 8th from 5:30 to 8:00 pm so everyone has a chance. So play your sport, plunge, and then come join us at the Plunge Party Dance!
And get your fun-raising on so you can earn the COOLest Solar Swag and incentives! What are you waiting for? Be sure to join our Area 6 on Ice (ok they will be melting in June!) team to ensure a portion of the proceeds go to your local Athletes.
(Even though it’s warmer than February?), Donate to support one of our Area 6 On Ice Athletes that is plunging. Be sure to select our Area 6 on Ice team (ok they will be melting) to ensure a portion of your donation goes to your local Athletes.
We are looking forward to some great competition and lots of fun at the 2019 Summer Games! Come join us!
