Polar Bears will jump into the community swimming pool for a desert-style unified polar plunge. For those not quite crazy enough to jump, you can still join in the fun and help the cause! Just be sure to register as a Teddy Bear.
The plunge will chill your bones, but warm your heart. All you have to do is jump. BRRRRing it!
