Polar Plunge Humane Society fundraiser 2023 a ‘chilling’ success
The annual Polar Plunge fundraiser, in support of the Humane Society of Warren County and its Julia Wagner Community Animal Shelter, was a fun, if chilling for plungers, success on Saturday, January 7th. See Royal Examiner’s event coverage, including interviews with organizers and participants and the PLUNGE itself, in this exclusive Royal Examiner video.
Early results indicated the “Dog Team” of Wagner Shelter employees with the early lead in fundraising with over $1,800 raised in support of their collective plunge – GO DOGS!!! Warren County Humane Society Executive Director Meghan Bowers estimated a total of over $9,000 dollars raised by 41 plungers in support of this community’s abandoned and homeless animals as the noon-hour winter plunge into the 4-H Center’s Lake Culpeper approached.
