Our Team Fundraising Page

The Average Joe’s are back! With a new team name: Sofa King Cold (say that out loud really fast). Ha! We are really excited to be participating again this year!!   A few of us first jumped in 2020 because we “wanted to do something crazy for Leap Year.”  We set one goal…survive this thing.  We met that goal and we had a blast!

Fast forward to 2023 and the Polar Dip it is BACK IN PERSON! What an exciting opportunity to jump again and add a couple of new goals….recruit more people and raise $10K+ for the River Hospital.

We all love The River and it holds a special place in our hearts for different reasons.  Some of us spent summers growing up together in TIP and have been friends for 35+ years, some of us got married here, some of us are year-round River Rats and those that aren’t try to get up here as much as possible. 

The River Hospital is important to the St. Lawrence River community and we all have relied on the hospital for friends and family or even for ourselves.  The River Hospital is the life line for many people here year-round.  We hope you will help us reach our $20K goal.  Every little bit helps!

Dipping for River Hospital!

The Polar Bear Dip has been raising money for River Hospital in Alexandria Bay, NY for over 30 years. By joining this event you are joining thousands of people who have made a difference for River Hospital over the years. This year, more than ever no matter how you dip what is important is that you help us continue the Dip tradition for River Hospital!
