24th Annual Polar Bear Dip to keep Waterville's kids from going to bed hungry!
Each year young and old gather in the snow, costume clad and pledges in hand, to take a plunge into icy waters.
The money raised supports our Kids' Kitchen, which serves over 40,000 free, hot and nutritious meals and snacks annually and sends over 70 backpacks home each Friday to feed families in need for the weekend.
Local DJ will be on hand spinning tunes to dive for, free hot chocolate and coffee, and a nice warm Awards Ceremony follows the icy plunge.
Categories include Best Costume(s), Biggest group, Most Money Raised, and more.
