The Polar Plunge takes place at Leesylvania State Park, located at 2001 Daniel K Ludwig Drive, Woodbridge, VA, on Feb. 17. The event includes music, food and a best-dressed plunger contest. It costs $100 to take the plunge and you will receive the official event T-shirt. There are more prizes in the incentives program.

“It’s great to see the community come out and raise money for such an amazing cause,” said Leesylvania State Park Manager Kenny Ashdown. “I am delighted that we can host this event at the park and help raise awareness for the athletes competing in the Special Olympics. Bring your friends and family out to this event and make great memories while enjoying the park.”
