12th Annual MCHS Polar Plunge

Updated: Jan 20

Make a splash at our 12th Annual Polar Plunge to benefit Marian Catholic High School!

Saturday, January 25, 2025

We invite you to join us and

“Be Cool for Our School” as we raise much-needed funds.

Dear Friend of Marian Catholic High School,

Our event continues to grow! On Saturday, January 25, 2025, our event participants will plunge into the icy waters of Mauch Chunk Lake Park! Registration begins at 10:00am at the beach area of the lake, and the first wave of plungers enter the water at 12:00 noon. This year, many of Marian Catholic’s students, as well as faculty, staff, and parents, will take the plunge. In the past, participants have come from 15 Pennsylvania counties (Carbon, Columbia, Delaware, Lehigh, Lancaster, Luzerne, Monroe, York, Schuylkill, Northampton, Lackawanna, Berks, Bucks, Montgomery, and Philadelphia) and five other states (New Jersey, New York, Delaware, North Carolina and Georgia).

In 2024, we had a record of 85 people took the plunge! Of these, 12 had plunged before and came back for more! The event is covered by area newspapers, television stations, and social media.

On behalf of the Marian Catholic Blue & Gold Club, students and staff of Marian Catholic High School, we thank you in advance for your support and generosity!
