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.

Fundraising Tips

After you register online, create your own personal fundraising webpage so that family, friends and co-workers can donate to you online. You can also download the pledge form to collect pledges offline and track your progress. $100/$50* minimum in order to take the plunge. Please collect pledges before the plunge.
