Polar Bear Dip 2024

The Average Joe's turned Sofa King Cold are back! We're excited for the 2024 Polar Dip and the chance to defend our Top Fundraising Team title! We won't have founding members Jason & Kimi to plunge with us (in August they relocated to warmer temps & more sunshine) but Sheila, Don, Litzie, and Jillian are ready for 2/24/24 and hoping to again raise over $20K for the Emergency Department at River Hospital.

We all love The River and it holds a special place in our hearts for different reasons...us girls spent summers growing up together in Thousand Island Park and have been friends for 35+ years, 3 of the 4 of us are now year-round River Rats, Don & Sheila got married here, Litz has fond memories of River time with her daughters, and so many other reasons.

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. River Hospital is the life line for many people here. We hope you will help us reach our $20K goal. Every little bit helps! Thank you!!
