A few of plunge tips:

• Old bath robes, beach towels and old athletic or water shoes are important plunge gear. There is a warm place to change after you plunge.
• You can jump in or walk in from the beach but diving is not allowed.
• Your fund raising web page will still work after the plunge for several days.
• Virtual plungers are allowed, register online.
• There will be a silent auction at the After-Splash Bash with some cool items so a bringing a little cash or a check is a good idea.
• Remember that awards are given for the best costume, largest team, most money raised by a team, most raised by an individual and for Warsaw only a special award. The Chillin’ to the Bone Challenge Award will be given to the largest number of plungers on an Orthopedic company team
• No dogs allowed. The Warsaw PD dive team is present to keep the event safe but they are not animal control officers.
