Can You Take It?
Plunge with us! This is the way to make the most of the Polar Bear Plunge experience! Nothing can compare to the invigorating feeling you get by plunging into the ice cold waters of Lake Ontario! It really is an awesome experience. There will be lots of great food and festival activity all around. Plungers are encouraged to dress up in their zaniest, craziest costume they can come up with! Prizes await the best costume, most pledges, and more! If you decide to plunge you'll need to read and sign the Plunge Waiver and Release. There is a $60 fee to enter the water. For that amount, you qualify to plunge and will receive a custom embroidered sweatshirt or towel and a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate along with a fresh bagel. With our incentive based pledge system, the more money you raise, the more gifts you receive as you reach pre-set amounts. Those gifts are cumulative and are in addition to the extraordinary prize awarded for the "most money raised by an individual plunger". Don't be left out in the cold! Register Now! We also accept "walk up" registration on the day of the event! And, cool embroidered polarplunge logo sweatshirts are available to non-plungers for a $25 donation, or embroidered logo towels for a $15 donation year round!
