Break out your swim trunks and get set to get wet at the New River Polar Plunge® Fest, where hundreds will make their wintry dash into the frigid New River.

There will be a DJ, free hot chocolate, and more to get you warmed up before the plunge. It’s $100 to participate includes Plunge Fest t-shirt, but the more you raise, the cooler the incentives! Plus, we’ll have prizes for best costume and top fundraising totals. Students also are welcome to join us for the Cool School Challenge.

The New River Polar Plunge Fest, hosted by the Radford City Police and Radford University, has become a unique tradition that has grown to include more than 350 plungers and has raised more than $150,000 for Special Olympics Virginia’s programs. The plunge is open to the entire community including Radford University alumni, RU and Virginia Tech students, youth groups, local residents — anyone that wants to help us raise money to benefit the amazing athletes of Special Olympics Virginia!

There is a contest for the highest fundraising for both individual and team totals as well as the best costume! There will be tons of other doors prizes as well.
