Ice Warrior Plunge raises awareness and funds for cancer research

The 9th annual Ice Warrior Plunge at Lake Sakakawea saw over 100 courageous participants, all diving into the icy waters to support cancer awareness, particularly among Native Americans, who suffer from cancer at a higher rate. This year’s event raised $71,000, with proceeds going to the American Indian Cancer Foundation and the MHA Cancer Fund. Community involvement was strong, with groups like Chord Energy raising over $14,000. In addition to the plunge, there were ice fishing tournaments, chili cook-offs, and more, all dedicated to a great cause.
