Prince William police will once again take a winter plunge into the cold Potomac River.
The annual Polar Plunge will benefit Special Olympics and take place in Woodbridge. A press release states:
This year’s event will be at Leesylvania State Park, 2001 Daniel K. Ludwig Dr., Woodbridge (22191) on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2020.
The Prince William County Police Department is looking for hardy individuals – or teams of family, friends, co-workers, or organizations – willing to brave the cold temperatures on land, and in the water, to help raise money for Special Olympics. Our goal this year is to raise $100,000.
Registration is open, and the public is invited to participate in several ways: • Actually take the “Plunge,” either as an individual or as a team that you put together with friends, neighbors, family or co-workers.
• Make a donation (if crazy, fun action is not your thing).
• Come out and cheer everyone on.
There’ll be live music, games, door prizes, food trucks, law enforcement displays and more, including a costume contest and, of course, a chilly plunge into the Potomac River.
To come out and cheer everyone on, mark your calendars for Saturday, Feb. 22, 2020. Registration and check-in begin at 10 a.m. Live music and the other activities run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The costume contest begins at 2 p.m., and the official plunge time is 2:30 p.m. There is on-site parking near the beach and marina at Leesylvania State Park.
The Polar Plunge benefits Special Olympics, an organization that is supported by law enforcement officers throughout the United States and in 45 countries.
Prior year events have been held at the Tims Rivershore restaurant near Dumfries.
