2026 Deep Creek Dunk!
For more than 26 years, thousands of brave plungers have taken the leap into the icy waters of Deep Creek Lake in support of Special Olympics Maryland – Garrett County. The Deep Creek Dunk is more than a winter tradition, it’s a powerful show of dedication to athletes and Unified® teammates, helping create meaningful inclusion experiences across the state of Maryland.
This year, help reach the $200,000 fundraising goal and register for the 2026 Deep Creek Dunk.
