Polar Bear Plunge

Overall Cost: $$
Complexity: 2

This is a chillingly good fundraiser for colder locales! Have donations based on whether or not your participants are brave enough to jump into the water, or charge a small entry fee that goes to support your organization.

Things to Consider

  • Obviously, this event must be in a cold location or occur during a cold weather month.
  • You’ll definitely need to have someone on site for safety emergencies just in case!
  • You could also consider selling warm treats like hot chocolate or coffee for participants once they’re out of the water.
