Story

Medtronics Enterprise Operations Finance in Ireland are taking on the Polar Plunge challenge with all proceeds going to Special Olympics Ireland. Keeping in mind the Government Level 5 restrictions, we will be plunging into the Atlantic, River Shannon, River Liffey, local rivers and lakes and maybe even taking a cold shower. We have until March 6th to complete our challenges so keep an eye on our page for updates, pictures and please share and donate if you can.

Your donations mean Special Olympics Ireland Athletes across Ireland will continue to be supported with virtual programmes and competitions which helps athletes stay physically and mentally fit during these challenging times. Any support would be greatly appreciated and most Medtronic employees can apply for the Matching Grant for donations > $25 by going into medtronic.yourcause.com, click on Matched Giving and submitting your receipt under Charity Reg ID 20016883..

About the charity

Special Olympics is a sport organisation for people with an intellectual disability, currently supporting nearly 8,000 athletes across Ireland, who are training for much more than the physical benefits that come from sport, but the emotional and social development that come from being part of S.O.I.
