Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union proudly announces its participation in a remarkable initiative aimed at supporting Special Olympics Minnesota through the return of its Polar Plunge jump-start campaign. This initiative kicks off in January, bringing a unique opportunity for community members to engage in a fun, philanthropic activity that resonates with joy and purpose.

What to Expect from the Polar Plunge

The Polar Plunge is not merely an event; it’s an exhilarating experience where plungers immerse themselves in icy waters for a worthy cause. This jump-start campaign specifically aims to assist participants in achieving their fundraising goals, providing them with a $50 donation towards the minimum fundraising requirement of $75. Since its inception, the campaign has successfully contributed over $350,000 to enhancing the Special Olympics Minnesota's mission of inclusion.

Significant Impact on the Community

According to Adam Layne, Community Engagement & Business Development Manager at Affinity Plus, "We’re thrilled to bring back the jump-start campaign for another plunge season, which continues to raise support for our incredible partner, Special Olympics Minnesota.” This sentiment emphasizes the credit union's commitment to making a significant difference in the lives of athletes with intellectual disabilities across the state.

Registration and Incentives

This year, the first 1,800 individuals who register for any of the more than 25 Polar Plunge events across the state will benefit from the promotional offer. By applying the promo code AFFINITYPLUS during registration, participants will receive instant backing for their fundraising goal. The jump-start campaign is designed to simplify the donation process, encouraging more individuals to join the plunge movement.

Continuing Partnership with Special Olympics Minnesota

Bill Fish, President & CEO of Special Olympics Minnesota, expressed gratitude for Affinity Plus' unwavering support, stating, "The support from Affinity Plus and their members has been invaluable to Special Olympics Minnesota.” He noted that the initiative has empowered over 6,000 plungers since its launch, driving momentum for the Polar Plunge and fostering a spirit of togetherness.

Expansion of Events to College Campuses

This year's campaign is particularly special as it marks the third consecutive year that Affinity Plus focuses its energy on the younger demographic by expanding Polar Plunge events to college campuses across Minnesota. St. Cloud State University is set to host the plunge, inviting students and community members alike to participate and raise awareness for this noble cause. This initiative also sees the return of events at Bemidji State University, Minnesota State University Moorhead, and Winona State University.
