Every Plunger/Chicken must raise a minimum of $125 and will receive a Polar Plunge T-shirt and lunch. Participants are invited to raise additional funds and earn incentive rewards. Costumes are encouraged!
Hey check this out! If at least $5,000 is raised, Special Olympics Shasta County Area Director, Stephen Bell, will jump in the water complete in a chicken costume! Who wouldn't want to see that happen?!
