All month long, you can round up or donate at the register to support Special Olympics Washington and athletes like Candace as she trains for the 2026 USA Games.

Anacortes closed out the 2026 Polar Plunge season Anacortes closed out the 2026 Polar Plunge season in style. ❄️🔥

Brave plungers took the final icy leap, helping raise critical funds to support Special Olympics athletes across Washington. From bold costumes to that collective countdown at the shoreline, Anacortes brought heart, energy, and just the right amount of chaos. 💙💪

Every dollar raised. Every cheer from the crowd. Every freezing, unforgettable second in the water. It all adds up to something bigger than a plunge — more opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities to train, compete, and shine.

What a way to wrap the season. Grateful for every person who showed up, cheered loud, and made this season so meaningful. See you next year. ❄️
