PAWS Humane Society and Wilmington VFW Post 6710 are partnering for a St. Valentine’s Day Massacre Polar Plunge on Saturday, February 14, beginning at 3 p.m., to benefit both organizations.
Will be held at the Wilmington VFW Post 6710 and will feature our own veterans braving cold water plunges as donations are made.
There are already several names on the volunteer list that is hung up on the commander's wall at the post.
Community members are encouraged to attend, make a donation, and watch as they take the mid-February plunge for a good cause. Attendees may also sponsor their favorite veteran for multiple plunges with additional donations.
In addition to the polar plunge, the VFW will have its full menu available for the community to enjoy during the event, and stay warm while veterans take a cold plunge so invite your family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors.
All proceeds raised will be shared between PAWS Humane Society and the Wilmington VFW Post 6710.
PAWS Humane Society serving the Wilmington area is a no-K*ll, volunteer-based nonprofit animal welfare organization. The organization operates a pet adoption center housing both cats and dogs, providing shelter, food, medical care, and daily socialization. All animals are examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered prior to adoption.
Funds raised for Wilmington VFW Post 6710 will be used to improve accessibility for local disabled veterans. Planned upgrades include paving the gravel parking lot, improving the entrance and walkway, and renovating restroom facilities to better accommodate veterans with mobility challenges due to their service and sacrifices.
