It’s official: In the face of possible blizzard conditions, we have decided to postpone the Polar Bear Plunge — to next Saturday, January 30th at National Harbor.
That means we can all stay warm this weekend. And we have one extra week to fundraise — and hit our goal of raising $90,000 to fight climate change! (Plus, a photo of you plunging will look even more impressive against a snowy backdrop.)
Thanks to your outreach, we’re 66 percent of the way to our goal. We have just under $31,000 more to raise to get there, and we know we can do it! We raised $30,000 in the week leading up to last year’s plunge — and that was without a giant snowstorm to set the stage for serious bragging rights.
The keepwintercold.org website is updated with the new date — next Saturday, January 30th — and you can continue using it to recruit sponsors.
Meanwhile, all the logistics for the Plunge will remain the same — just taking place one week later. We’ll be sure to update you next week with all the final details.
Finally, stay safe and warm this weekend, and thank you for your continued dedication to fighting climate change.
