Allentown, PA | Saturday, April 7, 2018 — Leading affordable housing organization Habitat for Humanity of the Lehigh Valley invites you to the sixth annual Plunge for a Purpose fundraiser event on Saturday, April 7th at Dutch Springs. Similar to a “Polar Plunge”, the Plunge for a Purpose is a creative way to support affordable housing solutions for low-income individuals and families in the Lehigh Valley by jumping into icy cold water.
This is a family fun event that is all in support of Habitat Lehigh Valley’s mission. Registration is free, and all funds raised will be used to help eradicate substandard low-income housing in the Lehigh Valley. You can register to plunge as an individual or as a team by visiting the user friendly registration site. Visit habitatlv.org and click on the event pop-up banner on the homepage and start fundraising today.
Check-in begins at 9AM with no entry into Dutch Springs after 10AM. Habitat Lehigh Valley is extremely thankful to this year’s title sponsor, Air Product’s, whose support and conviction in the Habitat for Humanity mission will help make the dream of homeownership a reality for future homebuyers. Brave plungers will take the plunge at 11AM. Plungers and spectators can enjoy free hot chocolate, courtesy of Whole Foods, and music thanks to B104.
Plungers are encouraged to dress in their best costume; the costumes will be judged and an award will be given to the winning costume. Awards will also be presented to the top fundraising team and the highest fundraising individual. Along with registering, make sure to sign your waiver(s)! Even if you’re not plunging, you MUST complete a waiver to enter Dutch Springs. Waivers can be signed by visiting the registration page for the event.
Habitat Lehigh Valley is also offering incentives for different fundraising levels: Each plunger who raises $50 or more will receive an official Plunge for a Purpose towel, and if you raise $125 or more you’ll receive a signature long-sleeve t-shirt. This is a fun event you won’t want to miss and it’s all for a great cause!
