The Plunge is an annual event helping local charities. Plunge participants raise pledges for a charity in the weeks leading up to the Plunge and, on the day of the event, plunge into the frigid waters of the Connecticut River at Brunelle’s Marina. The event has grown each year and raised over $128,000 for local charities this past year. This year's event will be held on Saturday March 11, 2017 and includes a luncheon after the plunge, raffles, music and fun.
