About the Valentine Plunge

The plunge is an exciting fundraising event where participants, called Plungers, collect donations for ALS patients in exchange for plunging into the icy Atlantic Ocean.

Get a team together – register as an individual – be a spectator cheering on your plungers – make a donation – be part of an amazing fundraising event! We’d like to give many, many thanks to all who have participated in the past years and now! Let’s make history again this February 2026!

Thank you again to all of our supporters!

Working together, we can accomplish anything!
