Ice baths have become popular for their numerous health benefits, leading Coors Light to tap into the wellness practice in a wacky way with The Patrick Plunge—a cold plunge shaped like Patrick Mahomes’ head—reflecting its passion for keeping things ice cold.
On July 19th, The Patrick Plunge is coming to Kansas City so that 60 lucky fans will have the chance to take a cold dip themselves. To enter, fans must make a $15 donation to 15 and the Mahomies, the nonprofit founded by Mahomes to support youth and community programs.
In honor of Mahomes' jersey number, Coors Light is also dropping 45 Mini Patrick Plunges, which scale down the head-shaped bath to chillers that can be used to keep beer ice-cold. Similarly, proceeds will benefit 15 and the Mahomies.
