Take the Plunge to Support Special Olympics

Registration will begin at 10:45 a.m. and the plunge will happen at noon.

Members of Craighead EC’s Chillywatts Polar Bear Plunge team raised $21,000 for Special Olympics this year.

Prizes are available for the team or individual that has the highest donation total and incentives are available from Special Olympics.

The 25th Special Olympics Delaware Lewes Polar Bear Plunge Sunday is expected to draw well over three-thousand people, whose willingness to jump into the ocean all at once will raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the organization.
