In Person
A little cold water's got nothing on you! You've got what it takes to make the plunge. You're up to the challenge and are ready to jump in. You are charged up and ready to be Freezin' for a Reason!
Not sure about taking the plunge but want to be a part of this awesome event? We can't do this without you. There are many opportunities to make a difference while staying completely dry!
Okay, so you prefer things nice and toasty warm. That doesn't mean you can't participate. Without your donations we're freezin' for no reason. Support a plunger or the event overall!
