The Plunge
The Plunge is back for its 9th consecutive year. On Sat, Feb 27, 2021, Haywood Waterways Association and the Town of Canton are hosting the annual “Plunge Benefit-t-t-ting Kids in the Creek & Environmental Education”. Though it will be different due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it remains a community event, bringing together public officials, schools, businesses, churches, and many others to support kids and clean water.
The event will be from 10 am until 4 pm at the Champion Credit Union Aquatic Center (77 Penland St). The cost is $25 or free by raising sponsorships ($10 under 18); 100% of the proceeds benefit the Haywood Waterways’s Kids in the Creek and environmental education programs.
