Great Falls Polar Bear Plunge

Plunge Schedule

Avoid the rush on Plunge Day! Bring your pledges to one of the early Plunge Check-In Days and receive your plunge order-number, plunge incentives and plunge wristband, which grants you access into the Plunge Zone. Then on Plunge Day, head straight to the fun! (Team captains may check in entire team but will need pledges and signed waivers for each member).

November 30th & December 1st

Too Chicken to Plunge? No Problem...you can still be a part of the fun! Simply register as a chicken, collect pledges and earn incentives just like a regular plunger; except no going into the icy water. Then attend the plunge and watch as others take an icy dip.
