The 2013 Polar Bear Plunge registration is now open, and we want you to join the MIX 108 Team!

The Duluth Police Department puts a lot of time and effort into making the Duluth Polar Bear Plunge happen, and we're so excited to plunge with them again in 2013!

Plunge Facts:

2013 will be the 16th year of the Polar Bear Plunge in Minnesota. The first one took place at Como Lake in 1998; its 65 participants raised $20,000.

In 2005, 100 Plungers raised $275,000 at five Plunge locations.

By 2008, Minnesota had 11 Plunges, featured 2,500 participants, and raised $725,000.

Just two years after that, in 2010, the Polar Bear Plunge took place in 13 different locations, included over 7,000 participants, and raised $1.4 million.

In 2012 over 12,000 participants raised over $2.8 million for Special Olympics Minnesota!
