Delta Air Lines
Welcome to the Delta Air Lines Plunge page! Groups are made up of Plunge teams from the same Team Challenge category, so teams can compete at the highest level!
Each year, the Polar Plunge challenges thousands of brave jumpers at numerous locations around the state. It’s a great way for everyone-individuals, organizations and businesses-to get involved supporting Special Olympics Minnesota. All funds raised go towards programming and events for more than 8,000 athletes statewide.
Delta Air Lines has accepted that challenge and will be braving the Minnesota elements: Minnesota Nice meets Minnesotan Ice!
Delta Air Lines raised $150,181 for Special Olympics Minnesota last year. Invite your family, friends, and co-workers to join our team in 2020!
BIG 3 CHALLENGE
This year, the Big 3 Challenge is back and better than ever! Delta Air Lines, UnitedHealth Group and U.S. Bank are teaming up again for some friendly competition...and to make a major impact on Special Olympics Minnesota athletes and programs.
Last year, these three companies raised over $475,000 for the Polar Plunge. UHG took home the trophy as the first annual Big 3 Challenge champion, raising over $168,000 with 248 total participants.
The challenge will culminate with a Unified celebration and, of course, Plunging at the Minneapolis Polar Plunge on 2.29.2020. Delta Air Lines, UnitedHealth Group and U.S. Bank will each have private, heated tents onsite to gather as a team and enjoy free food and drinks!
