16th Annual Polar Plunge

On February 2nd, 2008 the 16th Annual Polar Plunge was held at 8th Street and Oceanfront. Ten thousand on lookers packed the beach and boardwalk to watch three thousand five hundred and twenty two brave souls jumped into the frigid Atlantic Ocean.

Over $800,000 was raised for Special Olympics Virginia. EMS volunteers from several Virginia Beach Squads and Special Operations along with boat and dive teams from several Tidewater Area Fire and Police Departments kept a watchful eye out on the plungers.

Thankfully we had clear skies, little wind and 50+ degree temperatures. Request for services were few.
