PHOTOS: Over 900 Participate in Wildwood’s Polar Bear Plunge
On Saturday, over 900 gathered to brave frigid water and air temps for the Wildwood Polar Bear Plunge, benefitting Special Olympics New Jersey. At plunge time, on-land thermometers read just 35 degrees (though, the unencumbered wind certainly made it feel much colder), while the water reading tallied a balmy 37. In all, plungers raised over $188,000 for the cause.
Check out our photos of the madness below. (Note: Crazy costumes are extremely encouraged.) And if you’re feeling inspired, make a date for February 22nd, when the Polar Bear Plunge will remount in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.
