Orofino to Kick Off the New Year with “Plunge for the Pool” Polar Plunge

WHAT TO DO TO BECOME A NEW YEAR’S DAY PLUNGER!

STEP #1 Pre-Register for the Plunge! Click REGISTER above! Each individual will need to register for the Plunge, whether on a team or as an individual plunger.

STEP #2 Solicit and collect pledges! Ask family, friends and co-workers to pledge you as you are Going to “Freeze your Tush off”! Each plunger will need to collect the minimum amount in pledges. For example, if the minimum is $50 and you have 5 Plungers on your team, you will need a minimum of $250. You can collect pledges online or offline. Receipts will automatically be issued for online and check donation, if the contact name and address is provided.

STEP #3 Read and sign the Waiver and Release Form. All Plungers are required to read and sign the waiver. Participants under 18 must have a parent/guardian sign the waiver. The Waiver and Release Form can also be found by clicking the “Waiver & Release Form” button above on the left.

STEP #4 Bring the signed waiver, pledge form and pledges with you to the Plunge. All Plungers will need to check-in at the Plunge Registration area. You will receive additional instructions and your official Polar Plunge t-shirt. Be sure to check in early as you will need time to register and plunge with your group! Check in will start at 8:00am.

STEP #5 Have FUN! Form a team and Plunge with friends, family, or co-workers; create a crazy team name and crazy costumes! Don’t forget to nominate someone if you don’t want to freeze your “Tush Off”, to nominate another person you must pay/donate $25 and if they don’t want to plunge they need to donate $50 to “Keep their Tush” cozy warm on the sidelines.  TO GET OUT OF IT, YOUR DONATION MUST BE RECEIVED BY 12/25/25

What is a Team? Teams are a group of your friends, family, classmates, or co-workers who get together to raise money for the Plunge.

• Team members must be pre-registered.

• Each team member must raise a minimum of $50.

• There will be a prize awarded to the team that raises the most money.

How do I Form a Team? Grab your friends, neighbors and colleagues for a fun day in support of “The Pool”! Pick a team name and register online through clicking “Registration” above which takes you to the GiveButter site. Then others can join your team. You can collect pledges as a team online or offline. The total amount raised will be divided among each plunger on the team.

How Do I Join a Team? Click on “Join A Team” under “Plunge for the Pool” then register for the Plunge site your team members registered for or search for your team name.

What is a Team Captain? A Team Captain serves as the liaison between the Plunge and the team members.

The Role of a Team Captain:

• • Build a team and set a fundraising goal for your team. Work with the team members to set their individual fundraising goals – ideally about the registration minimum.
  • Provide team members with fundraising tools (ideas/info provided on the Orofinopool.com website.) Coach and motivate your team to success: generate enthusiasm for the event via Social Media, email, phone, newsletters, etc. • Team Captains organize and delegate team fundraising events.  Stay connected with the team by sending regular emails to update members on team progress, fundraisers, etc.
