PORTLAND — The sixth annual Maine Polar Dip to benefit Camp Sunshine will take place at noon Saturday, Feb. 9, at East End Beach.
Participants will plunge into the icy waters of Casco Bay to raise money to help send more families to Camp Sunshine, a one-of-a-kind national retreat in Casco for children with life threatening illnesses and their families. Every polar dip participant is encouraged to raise a minimum of $100 in pledges.
New this year, the Maine Polar Dip has partnered with CrowdRise, a popular online fundraising platform, to make it easier for the entire community to unite, support and fundraise for Camp Sunshine. To start raising funds, form or join a team, and donate online, visit www.crowdrise.com/MainePolarDip. For more information, call (207) 655-3800.
Organizers have set a goal to raise $30,000, enough to send 15 Maine families to Camp Sunshine.
Each participant who raises at least $100 in pledges for Camp Sunshine will receive an “I DID IT!” T-shirt. East End beach is at the base of Portland’s Eastern Promenade. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m.
