Foundation seeks sponsors, participants for Frosty Frolic
The California Area School District Foundation is asking people to plunge into the frosty Monongahela River on Feb. 7 as part of its second Frosty Frolic event.
The event will help to provide scholarships, grants and other support for students and the California Area School District.
The registration fee for an individual to participate is $10. This year there is also a wade option with a $20 registration. All registrants receive a T-shirt.
Donors are requested to support the plungers while teams of river rompers are also being formed.
There will be prizes given at three levels for most money raised by various groups including California University of Pennsylvania students, California High School students and alumni as well as community participants. Prizes for best costumes will also be given.
The event will be held on Water Street in Coal Center where changing tents will be available. Registration for the frosty fun will begin at 1 p.m. with costume judging at 1:20 p.m. and plunging starting at 1:30 p.m.
The Foundation is also seeking sponsors at various levels to help offset expenses of insurance, tents and prizes.
Registrations forms, pledge sheets, sponsor forms and releases are available by contacting Lisa Buday at 724-938-1355 or sending an email to monriverromp@gmail.com.
