Perilous Plunge 2023


  The things we do for kids!

  The 22nd Annual Perilous Plunge will take place on April 1st, 2023.

Gather your teams and join us for another wacky event to support the Redwood Discovery Museum!


What is the Perilous Plunge? Only the most fun you'll ever have supporting a nonprofit children's museum!

The Perilous Plunge sets the Redwood Discovery Museum's  budget for the year, and helps us provide scholarships, programs, exhibits, and more. The Plunge is how we are able to continue offering  fun, educational, positive childhood experience to Humboldt families and beyond. 

This wonderful and wacky event brings out the joyful experience of dressing up and being silly, all while supporting hands-on educational fun for children of all ages.

 Join the parade lead by Cal Poly's Marching Lumberjacks, jump into the bay, then head to the VIP tent for a soak in the hot tub, warm lunch, and a cocktail (21+) and enjoy the awards ceremony. Awards for Best Jump, Wackiest Costume, and more will follow the plunging.

  Participants can join a team or plunge individually. Collect pledges from family, friends, and anyone who would like to see you jump into Humboldt Bay for a good cause. Minimum pledge amount is $175 per plunger to receive a T-shirt. Individuals and teams can sign up at www.discovery-museum.org to start fundraising today! Once you have registered, post your badge to your social media, email your link, or ask for donations in person.
