And Beary the Plunge Bear stopped by to take photos with our athletes and share some Plunge excitement! 🐻❄️

Thank you to everyone who came out to play Bingo and support our SOMD Anne Arundel County athletes. We’re so grateful for our amazing sponsors and volunteers that made this night possible. A special shout-out to The Atreeum at Soaring Timbers and the Knights of Columbus Annapolis Council 1384 for all their help—from setup to volunteering to cleanup.
