Winter Plunge

More than 100 participants, volunteers, and spectators were at the seventh annual Penn State Altoona Alumni Society Winter Plunge held Jan. 26, 2019, at Canoe Creek State Park.

Fifty-five of those in attendance put on their game faces, braved the cold air temperatures, and jumped into the 33-degree water to raise funds for the Alumni Society’s student scholarship program and Penn State Altoona Benefiting THON.

With the help of plungers and sponsors, the event raised nearly $15,000 which brings the cumulative total raised for the plunge since its 2013 inception to over $200,000.

This year’s Plunge was held Jan. 25.

"We continue to meet our founders’ vision for Penn State Altoona and our community by providing the highest quality and most affordable education possible."

Showing Their PRIDE
Penn State Altoona's Pride Alliance joined with the community to hold Altoona's first Pride Parade in October.
