Performance Warriors

2026 Performance Warriors

Performance Warriors is an annual community event where we come together to move with purpose while supporting the Davis Phinney Foundation, whose mission is to help people with Parkinson’s live well today.
Parkinson’s disease affects nearly 1 million people in the United States, impacting movement, balance, and daily life. Research continues to show that exercise and movement are powerful tools for maintaining mobility, independence, and quality of life.
Performance Warriors was created because Parkinson’s affects people close to our community. The event has become a way for us to come together, raise awareness, and support an organization making a meaningful difference.
This year the event includes two community workouts.

Making Waves – Swim Workout
Saturday, March 21 10:00–11:30 AM
Minnetonka Middle School East
17000 Lake Street Extension
Minnetonka, MN

Creating Momentum – Land Workout
Saturday, April 18 11:00–12:00 PM
Kilo Collective
10921 Excelsior Blvd, #101
Hopkins, MN

Everyone is welcome. All abilities. All backgrounds.
A $25 donation to the Davis Phinney Foundation is suggested to participate in the workouts.
Fundraising will run from March 21 through April 18, with door prize drawings happening each week.
Thank you to Minnetonka Aquatics and Kilo Collective for generously donating their facilities for this event.

Polar Plunge

2026 Polar Plunge

Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Recap – Saturday, February 7

Took the plunge on National Have Ice Cream for Breakfast Day.
6 brave jumpers represented Performance Ready.
The air temperature was relatively warm for February, but the water still delivered the full plunge experience.
30 generous donors supported the effort.
Together, the Performance Ready raised $1,705 for Special Olympics, helping support year-round sports opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities.
Huge thank you to everyone who donated, cheered, and encouraged the jumpers.

Get Cold. Do Good.

Thanksgiving Charity Event

On Sunday, November 23, the 2025 Thanksgiving Charity Swim delivered another outstanding afternoon of swimming, generosity, and community. Hosted by Performance Ready in partnership with Genesis Aquatics, the event once again brought swimmers together to support the ICA Food Shelf while taking on a classic endurance challenge.

Highlights from the 2025 event:

90 swimmers took part, matching last year’s record turnout and filling the pool with energy from start to finish.
Swimmers completed 618,125 total yards, which equals 351.21 miles of swimming. That is a lot of laps and a lot of pie-earned calories.
Donations totaled $2,700 plus 64 pounds of food for the ICA Food Shelf, making a meaningful impact for our local community heading into the holidays.
The post-swim social at Sally’s was the best-attended yet, proving that swimmers clean up well once the caps and goggles come off.
A huge thank-you to Linda, the University of Minnesota Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center, and Genesis Aquatics who made the event possible.

Most importantly, thank you to every swimmer and donor who showed up, supported one another, and helped turn laps into meals. We are already looking forward to doing it all again next year.
Mark your calendars for next year! The tentative date for the 2026 Thanksgiving Charity Swim is Sunday, November 22.

Thank you to all who participated and contributed!
