SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Be a part of this epic fundraising tradition on November 16, 2025, at Camp Richardson, starting at 9 a.m. Join the Lake Tahoe Polar Plunge and take a fun dip, skip or jump into the lake for a great cause! If the thought of chilly water is “unBEARable,” get the thrill without the chill. Register as a chicken and be excused from Plunging but still enjoy all the festivities.
Everyone must raise a minimum of $125 and will receive a Polar Plunge T-shirt and enjoy post-Plunge festivities. Participants are encouraged to raise additional funds and earn incentive rewards.
Many law enforcement agencies will be joining this plunge, including the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office. Other fun ways to join in: Schools are invited to participate and earn 30% of what they raise; Toss the Boss Challenge, and more.
