2023 Charitable Plunges
What makes a successful charitable plunge?
- Choose the cause you want to support.*
- Raise money from those who’ll enjoy seeing you shiver.
- Gather up your courage.
- Toss off your hat, gloves, and coat.
- Run straight into very chilly waters.
- Race back out and warm up!
*Want to stay toasty? Remain on the beach (or at home) and make a donation.
