Plunge Tips & Tricks
Wear layers you don't mind getting soaked — the transition from water to warm air is the shock.
Bring a dry change of clothes and a towel. Wool socks are a game-changer.
Raise at least $75 in pledges before the event date — this is required to participate.
Costumes are highly encouraged! Past plungers have worn everything from superhero suits to Santa.
Make sure to register first on OneCause — walk-ups may not be guaranteed a spot.
