You have the opportunity to support our Special Olympians by participating in the Penguin Plunge.
For the fifth year, various local teams, Law Enforcement Officers, and individuals will be “Taking the Plunge” by jumping into the Kootenai River to raise funds for Idaho Special Olympics. It is fun and exciting with many participants in costume--imagine Halloween goes swimming with ice cubes.
Plungers and plunge teams collect pledges that
help to raise money and awareness for Special
Olympics. Those funds help Idaho Olympic
Athletes to have an opportunity for their
special day.All donations raised go to benefit Idaho Special Olympics. The Law Enforcement Explorers will have a table set up at Super One on March 13 from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. with registration forms, information, and ways you can support the Plunge or get involved. In addition, some local businesses will be taking donations for a Penguin card that you can sign your name on and have displayed at the business.
The Plunge is March 21 at the Search and Rescue/Waterways Building with registration at 11:00 a.m., with the plunge starting at noon. Minimum age for the plunge is 14 years of age. All spectators are welcome!
Judging for best costume, most team spirit, most donations, along with a special Spectators' Choice award will be done with prizes in each category, and all photos of the Plunge will be available for viewing on a Flicker site for the world to enjoy.
Judges this year include Mariah Rae, 2015 Distinguished Young Woman of Bonners Ferry, Clint Arthur, Bonners Ferry Middle School Teacher, and Rick Alonzo, of the Bonners Ferry City Council.
Put your plunge team together, or jump alone. Get your pledges from those who won’t plunge and come join the fun and frolic. Warm food and beverage will be available after those chilling moments in the Kootenai River and all participants will receive a Penguin Plunge Towel.
