Polar Bear Plunge
Plunge Tips
- Bring a robe. Great for putting on while waiting to go in and great to slip into as you dry off.
- Keep your feet covered until the last possible moment.
- Bring extra towels or a blanket to stand on - remember… the sand is like ice!
- Wear layered, loose-fitting clothes… easier to get into when fingers are cold.
- Plunge with a friend… use the buddy system.
- No Diving! Or entering the water head first!
An Easy Way to Raise Funds...
We’ve added Firstgiving as an additional way to raise funds, at no cost to you - via on-line. Raising funds with your personal fundraising page helps you reach more people more easily and enables them to donate more easily from anywhere in the world using a credit card. There’s even a way to add in those donations you do get manually - to keep everyone apprised of your overall efforts! Additionally, thank you notes and tax acknowledgements are sent to each donor automatically via email.
Polar Bears who raise the $50 minimum will receive an event sweatshirt! If you raise $250 or more - you will receive an embroidered LL. Bean Bath Sheet... for amounts from $500 to $5,000 you may receive embroidered sweatshirts, fleece jackets and robes! Even original stained glass art!!!
The easiest way to set up your own webpage is to visit www.firstgiving.com/sode. It takes 5 minutes to set up your page and no advance computer skills are needed. It will walk you through set up or you can download instructions.
