About Polar Plunge

Is your school cool? Prove it!

Join us Feb. 3 for the second Cool School Challenge, an exclusive opportunity for school groups to take the Plunge and be part of the coolest thing in 2012. For just $100 raised, you can take the icy dip into the Atlantic, all while earning a Friday “pass” from school, potential community service credit, freezing photos and cool prizes.

The Cool School Challenge starts Feb. 3 at 10:30 a.m. between 6th-9th Streets; the actual Plunge is at noon. Show your “cool school” spirit and come SEIZE THE FREEZE for a great cause! If you have additional questions, please e-mail Linda Hollingsworth or call her at 757.962.1575.
