A polar bear plunge is an event held during the winter where participants enter a body of water despite the low temperature. In the United States, polar bear plunges are usually held to raise money for a charitable organization. In Canada, polar bear swims are usually held on New Year's Day to celebrate the new year. At Angle Lake – it is both!
Help neighbors in need by generously donating packaged food and cash while event attendees will benefit by being eligible to win fabulous prizes! Simply bring a donation, enjoy a brunch buffet with coffee donated by Starbucks of Normandy Park and cheer or plunge at noon. For a heightened experience wear a costume and bring the kids.
One raffle ticket each will be awarded for:

• Showing up in costume (if you plan to plunge or not)
• Bringing non-perishable food items or cash to donate to the food bank (1 ticket per donor)
