SO Sydney South Sharks

Polar Plunge Cronulla 2025

We’re on the final stretch Sharks

Just over a week to go and I think the SO Sydney South Sharks are going to hit $20,000 by plunge day.

That’s a big call I know, but the Spirit and enthusiasm in this team is so high - in the words of another great team of Sharks (Premiers 2016) -Why not us?

Welcome to the team all of our new plungers. Thanks to Alan, Scott and Don from the LETR for all your help behind the scenes organising what is going to be a fantastic day on July 27 and to Laura from the SOA fundraising team for being so helpful over the last 6 weeks. 

Final push Sharks. Let’s smash through the ceiling.



April

$15,000

The amount is becoming overwhelming.
We are a sporting club that supports athletes with an intellectual disability and or autism. 
We want our athletes to participate, develop, compete and achieve beyond what they thought was their best. 
All we do is guide the talent. The athletes have always been the stars and the rest of us behind the scenes the bit players.
We will be able to achieve so much through these generous donations. 
If you have donated please join us on July 27 to meet some of our incredible athletes. Great sportsmen and women and more importantly GREAT HUMANS.
Go the mighty SO Sydney South Sharks. 

$10,000

Wow! So close to our goal.
Welcome Kieran, Tom and Tamara our three latest plungers.

Thanks to everyone supporting 
The MIGHTY SO SYDNEY SOUTH SHARKS.

Looking forward to seeing as many of you down there on the day in the green and blue as possible. 

Still happy for our team to grow. If you want to jump for a good cause join this team of legends today!

At Sydney South we love our athletes and we love the LETR for supporting us. 

$8000 and counting!

The team keeps growing!
Welcome to all our new plungers.  The Sydney South Spirit is through the roof right now. Most importantly we now have 181 athletes registered with our club and supporting our plunge helps us to support them. Our 11 training groups thank you ! Our 75+ volunteers also say thanks. Keep the donations coming in, every $5 gets us closer to our goal.

We’ve hit $4000!

Thanks to everyone for their support. Our team is growing in numbers each day. Our plungers are getting excited and now is probably the time to raise our limit. Let’s see if we can get to $8000. We have 26 days till the jump and 179 athletes now registered with our club that you can help us support. Get behind the Sydney South Sharks!!

Can we get to $3000 by the end of the week

Our team is growing in numbers each day.
Now let’s keep the donations rolling in and support our incredible Sydney South athletes.

Halfway!

We’re halfway! 

And we have some members in the team ready to jump.
Let’s get behind the SO Sydney South Sharks and support the 175 athletes in our club. 

We have hit $2000

Thanks to everyone who has helped us get to $2000!
Let’s get all the way to our target!

Taking the plunge to support the SO athletes from Sydney South

We’re taking a plunge and raising funds to give people with intellectual disability/autism opportunities to play sport, experience joy and belong.

Please support us, so we can support them.

We’ll be freezin’ for a reason.
