Plunge prizes announced
Incentives aplenty await those who sign on to join The Plunge in support of environmental education 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 17, at the brand-new Canton Pool.
- Those raising $25 will receive a T-shirt and swag bag.
- Those raising $100 will receive a T-shirt, free lunch, Kids in the Creek T-shirt and two raffle tickets.
- Those raising $200 will receive a long-sleeve T-shirt, free lunch, Kids in the Creek T-shirt, Plunge knit hat and four raffle tickets.
- Those raising $300 will receive a long-sleeve T-shirt, free lunch, Kids in the Creek T-shirt, plunge knit hat, a rain barrel and six raffle tickets.
The event invites participants to jump — or even dip a toe — into the unheated pool, with costumes encouraged. Prizes will be given for best get-up and most funds raised. All funds will support Kids in the Creek and other environmental education initiatives from the Haywood Waterways Association.
Raffle tickets are for individual plungers only, not for teams. Raffle prizes include a gourmet picnic buffet for two at Gooseberry Knob, a full-day Polaris Slingshot rental and an inflatable paddleboard.
