Polar Plunge
Polar Plunge is our annual major fundraising event. 2012 was our fifth year, and was a success! We had over 340 plungers, and 300 spectators. We raised nearly $30,000!!
Participants collected pledges or sponsorships from other individuals and businesses, to support their dive into the frigid Eastern North Carolina coastal waters in early January! Businesses can also create teams to support the program.
Polar Plunge 2013 will be held January 12, 2013.
Please see our Participation page to learn how to support the program!
Sponsors can also support the event in larger donation amounts, and receive free advertising and other benefits in exchange. Please see our Sponsorship page for more information.
We’d Love to Hear From You!
