Ways to Participate

There are several great ways to support this event.  The first, for the brave-of-heart, is to become a "Plunger" and take to the water yourself.  Plungers will work to acquire sponsorship from their family, friends, colleagues and parishioners.  Plungers can be anyone in generally good health*.  A second option is to nominate a friend, colleague, or your church's pastor to participate and perhaps be their first sponsor.  A third option is to sponsor one or more Plungers to help them reach their goal.  Lastly, you can participate during the event as either a spectator or volunteer.  We'll need help taking photos, passing out coffee, tending our bonfire and most importantly cheering on our Plungers as they take what will be a very cold swim!

* Though we expect this to be a very fun (likely hilarious!) event, we take the safety of our participants and guests seriously.  Lifeguards and nurses will be present to ensure everyone remains healthy and safe.
