NEWS FROM THE ICE SHELF

updated 1/2/24
We had 758 registered penguins for the 1/1/2024 Penguin Plunge in Atlantic Beach, NC, USA! Skies were partly cloudy, air temp was in the upper 50’s. A slight breeze didn’t stop any of us from jumping in the 56 degree ocean at 1:00 pm! We gathered with our friends and family to experience an exhilarating start to the New Year!
Many attendees wore costumes – those were so fun! The winner of the costume contest was a flashy group dressed as scuba divers and jellyfish. Answering to “the Hood” they are 7+ year veteran Penguin Plunge attendees.
There was a surprise upset in the group contest: First Methodist Church showed up with 23 registering under their group name. Congratulations, we have seen you at many previous events and hope to continue well into the future! Please look for photos & video on our social media sites!
Our 2024 event Charity recipient is the ECHS Marching Mariners. Stay tuned to the donation amount, we will announce that very soon.

Pre-registration for the 1/1/2025 Penguin Plunge will open on October 1st!
The deadline to register with guaranteed shirt size selection will be 12/1/24.
