GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - One year ago, hundreds of brave souls stripped down to their bare essentials and fearlessly charged towards an icy onslaught of tempestuous swells with a single-minded drive and a deeply selfless motivation.
The inaugural dotsure.co.za Polar Bear Plunge was a joyful outpouring of generosity on a community of people that needed warmth in a freezing cold winter. In total 488 blankets were collected and distributed to those that needed it most.
This year, the event will be much bigger, more entertaining, more exciting and, most importantly, more generous.
The 2017 Polar Bear Plunge will once again be held at Victoria Bay and be jam-packed with happy, kind people enjoying truly world class entertainment.
There will be special celebrity appearances by Algoa FM, the stunning Miss Junior Teen SA winner Monique Best, and none other than the celebrated Electronic band, GoodLuck.
There will be so much to see and do, but the real reason to get freezin’ is to make a blanket donation to one of our worthy charity partners. Your blanket is your entry fee. The more you give, the better you feel as you will be helping vulnerable people and animals in desperate need.
In 2017, dotsure.co.za has added to the list of charity partners to support humans and animals in need of winter warming. The list of partners is as follows:
- The George Herald
- Oakhurst Insurance
- National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI)
- The Animal Anti-Cruelty League, Port Elizabeth
- Algoa FM
- Rotary
- Eden 911
We challenge all businesses, teams, societies, friendship circles, families and even lonely individuals to come down in droves. Bring as many blankets you can carry, and take a plunge with like-minded people.
The event will take place on Saturday, 29 July between 09:00 and 14:00. Entries are limited, so to ensure your spot on the beach (and in the sea) you can register at www.dotsure.co.za/polar-bear-plunge. Join us in getting’ freezin’ for a reason.
