TOO CHICKEN
TO PLUNGE?
YOU CAN STILL BE A PART OF
THE FUN.
Go to KentuckyPlunge.com, and tell us you
want to play, but you’re too Chicken. If you
raise $75 (or $50 for Junior Chickens), you’ll
get a “Too Chicken to Plunge” t-shirt. Then if
you collect more donations, you’ll be eligible
for all the same great Plunge merchandise that
the Polar Bears earn.

WHY WE PLUNGE
We plunge for the athletes. Special Olympics
Kentucky is a non-profit organization that offers
year-round athletic training and Olympic-type sport
competitions for children and adults with intellectual
disabilities. Each year in Kentucky, thousands of
athletes train and compete in any of 15
official sports.
All of the donations you collect remain in Kentucky
to benefit local children and adults with intellectual
disabilities. If you would like to serve as a volunteer,
receive information about getting an athlete
involved or learn more about Corporate Partnership

RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY, AND PARENTAL CONSENT
AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”)
In consideration of participating in the Polar Plunge, I represent that I understand the nature of
the event and that I and/or my minor child am qualified, in good health, and in proper physical
condition to participate. I acknowledge that if I and/or my minor child believe event conditions
unsafe, I and/or my minor child will immediately discontinue participation in the Activity.
I fully understand that the Polar Plunge event involves risks of serious bodily injury, including
permanent disability, paralysis and death, which may be caused by my own actions, or inactions,
those of others participating in the event, the conditions in which the event takes place, or the
negligence of the “releasees” named below; and that there may be other risks either not known
to me or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I fully accept and assume all such risks and all
responsibility for losses, costs, and damages I and/or my minor child incur as a result of my and/or
my minor child’s participation in the Activity.
I hereby release, discharge, and covenant not to sue Special Olympics Inc. and Special Olympics
Kentucky, Inc., its respective administrators, directors, agents, officers, volunteers, employees, other
event participants, any sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of the premises
on which the Activity takes place, (each considered one of the “RELEASEES“ herein) from all liability,
claims, demands, losses, or damages on my account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in
part by the negligence of the “releasees” or otherwise, including negligent rescue operations; and I
further agree that if, despite this release, waiver of liability, and assumption of risk I, or anyone on
my and/or my minor child’s behalf, makes a claim against any of the Releasees, I will indemnify,
save, and hold harmless each of the releasees from any loss, liability, damage, or cost which any
may incur as the result of such claim. I am also granting my permission to Special Olympics to use
my likeness, name, voice and words in television, radio, film, newspapers, magazines and other
media, and in any form, for the purpose of advertising or communicating the purpose and activities
of Special Olympics and/or applying for funds to support those purposes and activities.
