Polar Bear Plunge

 

Annual Polar Bear Plunge

This annual event is an opportunity for families and the community to gather and wash away with the bad and welcome in the new. The New Years is a time to celebrate and prepare for what the year can bring. Join in on this free event with challenging one another to slide into the arctic chill then warm up with delicious hot chocolate. This leap of faith will build out community and makes us stronger for one another.

This Challenge is geared to get participants to raise funds to determine if they will be taking the chilly plunge.  The participant that raises the least amount will have to take the plunge along with the top fundraiser. The top participant will also get to use their charity of choosing to give 100% of the proceeds they raise from this event.  All other participants will divide their proceed 34% to their charity, and the other 66% will be split between the Tiftarea YMCA and the Tift County Swim Teams.  Deadline for donations in 12/30 at NOON. Donations can be made at the YMCA (1823 Westover Road), Professional Plus Realty(1564 King Road), and online. There will be an update every week to deterimine the standings.
