Too Chicken to Plunge !
Now event participants can choose to register for the event as either a “Plunger” or “Too Chicken to Plunge”. Jumping into a freezing river isn’t for everyone but the POLAR PLUNGE IS! If you register as “Too Chicken” you can still be a part of any Polar Plunge Team or you can form a separate “Too Chicken to Plunge” Team. “Chickens” will need to raise a minimum of $75 in pledges and in exchange will receive an official “Too Chicken to Plunge” long sleeve t-shirt.
Chickens are eligible to earn all of the other Polar Plunge incentive items such as the beach towel, hoodie, etc. Chickens can dress in costume with their team and there will even be some “special” perks in store for them at the event!
