HAPPY 2024 PLUNGE TIME! I know it is early but I wanted to get the date out there ASAP. NOVEMBER 23, 2024 is when our Amsterdam Rams Unified Club is going to take the plunge again! Last year, we had almost 50 plungers and raised $15,000. This year, we want up to 75 PLUNGERS and try to raise $20,000!!!! We have two months to look for donations and stack our team. Click the link below to JOIN or to DONATE to our team. We hope you want to TAKE THE PLUNGE WITH US! Please email me for any questions. I've attached team pictures from last year for FUN.
