## Why we plunge

Every dollar we raise fuels year-round sports and leadership programs for more than 25,000 Special Olympics Maryland athletes and Unified® teammates. Participants typically commit a fundraising minimum (historically $100+) to earn their spot—100% worth it for the impact we make.

## Goombay game plan

• Meet-Up Window: We’ll share our team tent location, arrival time, and group photo time once the site map & wave assignments drop.
• Post-Plunge: Warm-up at the team tent; hot drinks, high-fives, and photos.

The story behind the lady who captured the world's attention, "Tina Turner the musical". A lot of us have seen the movie "What's Love got to do with it" (sub-title Ike was a wild dude). Well this is the stage version of her story.

Capitol One Hall in Tyson's, VA has LIMITED the number of tickets any group/household can purchase. That being stated tickets range in price from $83 to $182. Currently there are seats still available in various sections from the balcony to the main floor Orchestra area. There is paid parkng but some folks may want to carpool. DOORS OPEN AT 12 PM.
