Costumes are encouraged and crazy fun can be expected! Awards will be given to wackiest costumes, top fundraisers and much, much more.
BE A DOUBLE DIPPER!
Plunge at one of the February 27, locations and then take another dip in the VERY chilly waters of South Lake Tahoe on March 20th. Raise $10,000 between both plunges and you'll get free housing at the Monte Bleu resort in South Lake Tahoe, our official Plunge hotel and site of our Tahoe Post Plunge Party. To sign up as a Double Dipper, simply register for the two plunges you wish to enter – we’ll know who you are and give you a shout out in our First Barely Frozen Gazette!
PERSONAL PLUNGE PAGE
Plungers can create their own Plunge Web Page so that friends, family and co-workers can visit and donate right online.
TOO CHICKEN TO TAKE THE PLUNGE?
Okay so if plunging is not your thing, you can still participate! Join our "Chicken Coop" Team and raise funds for Special Olympics. On plunge day you’ll sit in Chicken Coop with the other chickens! Sure you might be the subject of ridicule by all of the braver souls who took the plunge, but hey it's all for a good cause! And what's a little ribbing between friends - you're dry - right? To join the Chicken Coop Team select "register here", then "Join a Team" and select Chicken Coop Team.
