Humane Society hosts third Polar Plunge fundraiser at 4-H Center January 15
The Humane Society of Warren County is gearing up for their third annual Polar Plunge Fundraising event scheduled for January 15th, 2022, splashing in shortly after 11 a.m. at the Front Royal 4-H Center’s Lake Culpeper. Participants 12 years and older help raise funds for the shelter by seeking sponsorships for the plunge.
Sponsored by a who’s who of Warren County including new sponsors Laura Gomez Realtor, the Apple House and Warren County Vet Clinic, this year’s event should be a wild success. City National Bank, Aders State Farm, Cool Tech Heating and Air, Cavalier Kennels, and AirPac Portable Air Conditioners and Heaters are returning again this year, and we expect they’ll be bringing their usual merriment.
A large, heated tent, warm drinks, live music and fun costumes will keep our plungers and spectators comfortable until it’s time for the big dip, done in waves of 10 plungers at a time. Strites Donuts will be on site serving up their hot and fresh local favorites.

Registration is now open for those wishing to participate with a minimum of $50 per plunger raised, although plungers are encouraged to raise as much as possible. In prior years, Molly Llewellyn has been top fundraiser, bringing in $3,060 in 2021.
One hundred percent of proceeds from the Polar Plunge go towards the care of the homeless animals of Warren County, and all donations are tax deductible. The Humane Society is a non-profit animal shelter, established in 1947 that is dedicated to providing compassionate care to abandoned, abused, homeless and neglected animals in our community. We aim to educate pet owners on the importance of vaccinations and population control and to place adoptable pets in loving homes.
