On January 31, 2026, the Kings of Royal Court Zeta proudly joined thousands of supporters for the 30th-anniversary Polar Bear Plunge. At Sandy Point State Park, they braved the Chesapeake Bay’s frigid waters to raise vital funds for the 25,000 athletes of Special Olympics Maryland (SOMD).
For three decades, the Plunge has symbolized unwavering community support for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The Kings launched a dedicated fundraising campaign, engaging their community to demonstrate a profound commitment to service. Their efforts culminated in a celebratory team plunge.
Taking the plunge is a small sacrifice compared to the courage shown by SOMD athletes daily. The Court mobilized its network to help provide these incredible individuals with the resources to compete, build friendships, and realize their potential. As the largest single-day fundraiser for Special Olympics Maryland, the Plunge enables year-round sports training, competitions, and health programs at no cost to athletes or their families.
Special Olympics Maryland provides year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, and experience joy.
