This is a fun event which brings out hundreds of hearty souls who brave the cold for a good cause.
The event will be held on January 21, 2012 at DCR's Wollaston Beach. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m.
Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:
Most money raised
Most unusual “get-up”
Oldest and youngest participants
Plunge participation categories include:
Full Plunger
Waist Wader
Knee Higher
Dunking Toe-Nut
Geez – I Would If I Could
Free tee-shirts will be given to each “Plunger.”
Since 1947, Interfaith Social Services ([55) has been helping families and individuals in need on the South Shore.
The 'Plunge' is a tribute to John Hancock, born in the city of Quincy, first signer of the Declaration of Independence and prominent Patriot.
'Plungers' can help by soliciting sponsors. Free 'Plunge' tee-shirts will be given to each 'Plunger.' Prizes will be awarded in the following categories: most money raised, most unusual 'get-up,' and oldest and youngest participants.
