A Successful Wildwood Polar Plunge! (Drone Video)

A Successful Wildwood Polar Plunge 2017

The Wildwood water was a very cold 36.3 degrees when plungers took the waters in support of New Jersey’s Special Olympics. The annual event drew over a twelve hundred (1,200) people who braved the cold winter weather and almost freezing temperatures to support an amazing cause.

If you don’t know what the Wildwood Polar Plunge is, it is a family-friendly event benefiting more than 25,000 athletes of the New Jersey Special Olympics where plungers donate money to take a dip in the freezing waters.

As the numbers are still being counted, we are told that the event raised just about four hundred thousand ($400,000) for the Special Olympics. It seems that every year more and more are turning out for the Wildwood Polar Plunge.

This year there were so many awesome costumes and themes worn by the polar plungers. From Scottish costumes to a Hambre suits, (gorilla suit), everyone looked amazing!

We filmed the Wildwood Polar Plunge via a drone to give you an bird’s eye view of the plungers jumping into the cold water! At-least you can watch it from your warm couch as they dive into almost freezing waters! (BELOW)

We also filmed the Wildwood Polar Plungers as they ran into the water from the side of the spectators.
