The 15th annual High School Plunge and the 24th annual Penguin Plunge return to Hampton Beach the weekend of February 11th and 12th. The event was done virtually in 2021 and 2022. This year the "Do-It-Yourself" option still exists for 2023, but the overwhelming majority of those registering for the event are checking the "in-person" box.

The weekend requires hundreds of volunteers to register, organize and keep track of the hundreds of "plungers" who will be in attendance. Special Olympics New Hampshire is in dire need of more volunteers to help out with the weekend.

If you, or you and your family or co-workers would like to help support the more than 3000 athletes of Special Olympics New Hampshire you can sign up to volunteer here:
