NEW FOR 2020... THE PLUNGE -or- PAY CHALLENGE! Have you been dealing with that “certain” family member that has had you on holiday edge? Need to call out that friend or co-worker who challenged you all of 2019? Maybe your “crew” needs to level up the fun for 2020? No worries, we got you this year! Nominate them in the "PLUNGE OR PAY CHALLENGE!"
HOW IT WORKS: Challenge them to either "Plunge" with you at the 2020 Pelican Plunge event -OR- if they're a soft-shell sell out, they can opt to "Crab Out" of the event with an easy donation to the children's charity. As a bonus, they can also attend the Pelican Plunge on the sideline with warm gumbo, raffle prizes, and all plunge-party festivities.
