Polar Plundge

My 10 year daughter will be participating in the 3rd annual polar plunge.  She will be entereing the freezing waters of Massachusetts on Sunday February 1, to help raise money for the Beverly Affordable Housing Coalition.

She is trying to raise $250 or more to help the cause.

If you are interested in helping her , here is a link to make a pledge on line.

Dallas Baptist university (DBU) has students from over 50 countries and our cards will be given to them.  So if you have some extra time make a card and send it to :

Birthday and all occasion are best and please leave inside blank.
