Executive Challenge
Friday, March 3
Plunge begins at 4:30 PM (subject to change)
Executive Challenge
Executives from all over Minnesota gather together and support Special Olympics Minnesota by taking the Plunge together! These business professionals fundraise at least $3,000, $5,000 or $10,000 for Special Olympics Minnesota. In 2022, 55 executives raised more than $309,000 at the Executive Plunge!
Before taking the Plunge, executives gather in a heated tent and enjoy catered food and drinks, and a program hosted by Fox 9’s Ian Leonard that celebrates the 50 years of progress Special Olympics has made for the intellectual disability community in Minnesota.
