The event supports special Olympic athletes with funds going towards equipment and training costs.
38 people are signed up for the plunge so far, according to area director, Amy Kolb Tucker.
“Everything has scaled down because of COVID so we’re trying to get out the word and encourage people to come join us or sponsor a plunger,” said Tucker.
The plunge is being held at the Weed Community Pool versus Lake Shastina this year.
A ‘Return to Play’ celebration is also being hosted following the plunge.

/ The Lava Fire taken from Amy Kolb Tucker s house on Monday before evacuating. She and her family safely relocated to Etna, CA.
The Lava Fire continues to burn in Siskiyou County, about 3.5 miles from Weed, California. It’s estimated to be 13,300 acres.
The wildfire had been burning for three days when Amy Kolb Tucker got an evacuation warning on Monday at her suburban home in Lake Shastina. Soon after however, large wind-driven embers started coming down in her neighborhood.
“That’s when we got really concerned, because it wasn’t just ash falling from the sky, there were large particles falling from the sky,” Kolb Tucker says.
