register to plunge for hospice

Want to plunge with us on January 1? Here's what you need to know.

  • Plungers must register with our online donation platform Zeffy (see link below)

  • Registration and waivers will be filled out the morning of the plunge

  • Donations can be collected through your personal fundraising page online, or by collecting cash and cheques "the old fashioned way" (see below for a printable donation form)

  • All plungers must raise a minimum of $50 to participate in the plunge

  • Our goal with the 20/20 Vision for Hospice campaign is to inspire every plunger to rally at least 20 people to each donate at least $20 (note: as we do not yet have charitable status, we will not be able to offer tax receipts for donations).
