DUMFRIES – (Press Release) The 2019 Polar Plunge Festival will be held on February 23 at Tim’s Rivershore Restaurant & Crabhouse in Dumfries. All proceeds will go to Special Olympics Virginia.
The festival has a $100,000 goal. Interested participants can register right up until start time on event day. For more details and a schedule of events, check out our event website, polarplunge.com/tims-rivershore. Please note all event times are subject to change based on weather and water conditions.
It costs $100 to plunge. More raised money will result in different prizes, including your name on a sidewalk star (if you or your team raises more than $5,000.) The top fundraiser will get a Potomac Nationals season ticket package and the top team gets a Potomac Nationals ticket package for the team. Every plunger will also get one Potomac Nationals game voucher!
Plungers will take to the icy Potomac for the main event at 2:30 p.m. to cap off the day, which is open to all and includes live music by Van Galen, a costume contest and parade, and food and drinks from Tim’s Rivershore Restaurant & Crabhouse.
The 2019 NOVA Polar Plunge® Festival is presented by the Prince William County Police Department, Tim’s Rivershore Restaurant & Crabhouse and the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Virginia.
This event is one of five Polar Plunge® Festivals in Virginia. In addition to the Tim’s Rivershore event, a plunge also will take place February 23 in the New River Valley. The Solar Plunge is set for June 8 in Richmond during our largest annual competition, Summer Games.
Plungers kicked things off January 19 in Fairfax at a brand new location (the Mosaic District); this plunge raised $34,000. The biggest event in Virginia Beach took place February 1 to 2 and raised $1.23 million for Special Olympics Virginia.
