The 10th Annual “Be Cool for Our School” Polar Plunge to benefit Marian Catholic High School is Saturday at Mauch Chunk Lake in Jim Thorpe.
Registration is $35 and is open from 10-11:30 a.m. The first plungers hit the water at noon. Registration is not limited to plungers. Participants may register as a “chicken” to show their support but stay dry. A commemorative T-shirt is included with a plunger or chicken registration. With the exception of Marian students, all plungers must be 18 or older.
The event will feature a DJ, and food and beverages will be available for purchase. There is no fee for spectators.
In case of inclement weather, the alternate date is Saturday, Feb. 4.
