🎉 6th ANNUAL POLAR PLUNGE 🎉
🧊 New Year’s Day • January 1, 2026 • HIGH NOON 🧊
📍 Quail Creek Reservoir
START THE YEAR WITH A SPLASH. LITERALLY.
If you’ve ever thought, “Hey, I’d like to start my year off by freezing my face off with a bunch of lunatics in costume,” then boy do we have the event for you.
The 6th Annual Polar Plunge is back, baby — and we’re diving headfirst into 2026 (and 42-degree water) for a good cause!
💙 WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
We’re FREEZING for a REASON — to raise funds for the Washington County Children’s Justice Center. They provide safe, child-friendly support for victims of abuse and their families. This is serious work, and your $5 plunge + any extra donations go directly to help local kids get the justice and care they deserve.
👉 Donate online: https://cjcwc.com/donate/
💥 Show your donation receipt for an extra prize drawing ticket!
🎭 COME IN COSTUME
No, you don’t have to, but yes, you absolutely should. Prizes for the best getups! Superheroes, pirates, giant bananas — the more ridiculous, the better.
👫 BRING A FRIEND
The kind who won’t let go of your hand when you’re about to chicken out. Or bring your frenemy and lovingly tell them to “jump in a lake.”
