The Special Olympics Vermont Penguin Plunge is a unique winter event where participants raise funds to take a dip in Vermont’s icy lakes.
Now in its 27th year, the Penguin Plunge event supports a movement that works year-round to foster inclusion and acceptance of people with intellectual disabilities by using the power of sport to showcase their gifts and abilities. Today, Special Olympics Vermont serves 2,000 athletes (people with ID) and 1,400 Unified partners (people without ID who train and compete with Special Olympics athletes) offering thirteen Olympics style sports and nine state-wide competitions each year.
