2020 DETAILS COMING SOON!
The Plunge!
December 1-11, 2020
Results Announced and Virtual Crowning: December 19
Will someone de-throne our reigning Queen Plunger, Amanda Zelnis or will her boldness and coldness reign supreme for another year?!
On December 7, 2019 a brave group of "Plungers" will take a chilly dip into Lower Lake to support the Annual Fund during Lutherlyn's Plunge!
We'll take lots of photos and videos to share the fun with everyone. We don't want anyone to miss seeing this spectacle! Feel free to take a look at our photos and videos from last year, it was great fun!
We'll serve hot beverages, s'mores, and have a roaring bonfire at Lower Lake Fire Circle to help keep our participants and spectators warm.
Please check back, we'll be adding more details soon!

Ways to Participate
There are several great ways to support this event. The first, for the brave-of-heart, is to become a "Plunger" and take to the water yourself. Plungers will work to acquire sponsorship from their family, friends, colleagues and parishioners. Plungers can be anyone in generally good health*. A second option is to nominate a friend, colleague, or your church's pastor to participate and perhaps be their first sponsor. A third option is to sponsor one or more Plungers to help them reach their goal. Lastly, you can participate during the event as either a spectator or volunteer. We'll need help taking photos, passing out coffee, tending our bonfire and most importantly cheering on our Plungers as they take what will be a very cold swim!
* Though we expect this to be a very fun (likely hilarious!) event, we take the safety of our participants and guests seriously. Lifeguards and nurses will be present to ensure everyone remains healthy and safe.
