Super Plunge XI

The 12th Annual Super “Plunge” Sunday is scheduled for Super Bowl Sunday, February 7, at 1 PM.  Participants are invited to brave the icy, cold Atlantic Ocean, and will have plenty of time to be home for the big game. 

Super Plunge XII, a fundraiser organized by St. Francis Community Center and the Swim Teams of Southern Regional High School, will take place at the 48th Street Beach in the Brant Beach section of Long Beach Island.

The “Plunge” has become a popular community favorite during the winter doldrums on Long Beach Island.  The event grows in participation each year.

Pre-registration is required. Registration will take place in the Senior Lounge at the Community Center on Saturday, February 6 from 9 am to 1 pm, and on Sunday, February 7 from 10 am to 12 pm. Registration forms can be picked-up in advance at the front desk of the Community Center, or printed from our website, and mailed to St. Francis Community Center, Attn: Super Plunge X, 4700 Long Beach Blvd., Long Beach Township, NJ 08008-3926. The fee is $30 per person on or before February 6 and $35 on Plunge Day.

The student registration fee is only $15 on or before February 6 and $20 on Plunge Day. Participants are encouraged to seek sponsor donations in addition to their registration fee. The Sponsor forms can also be found on-line.

All registered participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt. T-shirts will also be available to spectators for purchase after 12:00 PM on “Plunge” Day. Wristbands will be issued to all participants and must be worn at time of the plunge. 

Plungers should bring with them their courage, bathing suit, towels, blankets and whatever else is needed to warm-up after the ocean dip. Costumes of all kinds are also encouraged.

There will be post-plunge festivities back at the Community Center immediately following the plunge. Hot chocolate, coffee, tea and goodies will be served to help warm-up everyone, and prizes will be awarded:  youngest plunger, oldest plunge, best costume and most funds raised overall.  The winner  for the 2016 $5,000 Travel Voucher Raffle  will be picked at 1:45
