## 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.
