Want to support Special Olympics Tennessee athletes but really, REALLY don’t want to plunge into the frigid water? It’s your lucky day! Register online as a “Too Chicken” plunger and you can still raise money, earn incentives, and be part of the fun! And on event day you can even dip your toes in the kiddie pool to show your support!
“Chickens” are a great addition to every Plunge Team and are great at giving moral support, cheering from the comfort of the sidelines, taking team photos, and helping your team celebrate success. (Fundraising levels are the same as plungers).
