POLAR PLUNGE: COUNT DOWN FOR CLEAN WATER

Saturday, February 11, 2017 POLAR PLUNGE:  COUNT DOWN FOR CLEAN WATER

ABOUT THE EVENT

Clay Alliance (BRC) hosts the event to get outdoors and raise awareness about their conservation work in the Brandywine and Red Clay Watersheds.

Participants collect at least $35.00 in donations from friends and family in exchange for braving the chilly Brandywine Creek in the middle of winter. The first 200 participants to register are guaranteed an official 2017 long sleeve t-shirt to commemorate the event. Team participation is encouraged.  Prizes are awarded to: top individual fundraiser, largest group, group raising the most funds, best costume and special awards to recognize community service clubs!

2017 marks the 9th year for this event. Since 2008, nearly 1,400 people have taken the plunge to raise over $123,100 to protect and conserve our region’s natural resources. The Polar Plunge is one of BRC’s major fundraisers to offset the cost of our environmental education programs reaching nearly 12,000 school students per year.
