When a “plunger” raises a minimum of $75 in pledges they receive an official long sleeve polar bear T-shirt and admission to the post-plunge party. The more money a plunger raises, the more prizes they receive. Special prizes will be given to: the Polar Bear who raises the most money, the team with the best costume, Polar Bear with the best costume. Sponsors for the Davenport plunge include Q106.5, 101.3, Fred’s Towing, Nichols Aluminum, Sentry Scuba and Texas Roadhouse.

Too chicken to take the plunge? No problem! Register as a chicken and raise pledges to receive your chicken T-shirt and incentives, and then watch the plunge! There will be prizes for the “Chicken” that raises the most money.
