Penn State Altoona’s Alumni Society held its fifth annual Winter Plunge event Saturday, Jan. 28, 2017, at Canoe Creek State Park. Seventy-four Penn State students, staff, and community members ran, jumped, dove, flipped, and belly-flopped into the 37-degree-water to support the Alumni Society’s scholarship program and Penn State Altoona Benefiting THON.
Since its inception in 2013, the Winter Plunge has raised more than $171,000 for Penn State Altoona Benefiting THON and the Alumni Society scholarship program.
