Puffin Plunge Challenge
Are you ready for a chilly challenge?
The Bath at Play Puffin Plunge Challenge is the perfect way to ring in the New Year while supporting our fundraising efforts to bring year-round music for all to the shores of the Kennebec River! Plunge solo or gather a colony of your friends and family and challenge yourself to get cold this Holiday season. Challenge participants and teams compete to raise the most money before they take their plunge anytime between 12/24/23 and 1/1/2024.
Funds raised by plungers and their supporters will go toward the Riverwalk Rhythm Project, a year-round outdoor musical instrument installation in Bath, Maine. This project is designed to highlight the power of music to build connections within our community, while enhancing one of our new public green spaces. We hope that providing our youngest community members with access to an engaging high-quality instrument will open the door to a lifelong interest in music.
Don't live near a cold body of water that you can dip into? Don't worry, you can still participate with an ice-bucket dunk or your own creative cold experience! Check out our event website to register as a Puffin, form a Colony (team), or support your favorite Puffin!
Thank you for jumping in with us! Stay Playful!
