Jump In — the Water’s Cold!

 

Arctic creatures among us are looking to help others despite some personal discomfort. In other words, they’ll rush into frigid water to raise money for charity!

 

Plunges are sponsored by a charity. To fund that cause, find people willing to donate money in exchange for seeing you shiver. Oh, yes, and on the day of the plunge, meet outdoors, take off your coat, hat, mittens, and boots, then run straight into the very chilly water just long enough to get yourself wet!
