We invited you to Jump in and Feel the Love with Us at our 18th Annual Valentine Plunge… and you did! 625 of you! And because of YOU we were able to raise over $500,000 at last year’s Annual Valentine Plunge which was a record setter! You are an amazing group of individuals set out to make the world a better place by supporting this cause and changing the lives of our pALS!
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!!
About the Valentine Plunge
The plunge is an exciting fundraising event where participants, called Plungers, collect donations for ALS patients in exchange for plunging into the icy Atlantic Ocean.
Get a team together – register as an individual – be a spectator cheering on your plungers – make a donation – be part of an amazing fundraising event! We’d like to give many, many thanks to all who have participated in the past years and now! Let’s make history again this February 2025!
Thank you again to all of our supporters!

"What gives me hope for the future is the sheer number of people involved in the ALS fight and the different types, from the scientists to the physicians to the companies and the patients and the foundations. It feels like a big global family that's trying to fight together,” she said. “That's very different than 10 or 15 years ago. It was such a small community. So, the speed of progress is just going to go up because of the number of people involved.”![]()
