Polar Bear Plunge 2013

The 2013 plunge brought snow on the beach... ...and colder temps than the year before.........Wilmu had a breezy presence on the beach as we were the first to stake out our banner! Many thanks to Pete and Stephanie S. for doing this for us every year! The gang gathered at our Rehoboth site for a group picture, and you can see that among the 16 registered plungers this year, (which was more than 100% more than last year) we also had so many supporters who were our "beach towel holders" and cheerleaders ready to cheer us into those frigid waters. ... ............>...This year we were able to provide warm fleece scarves for the registered plungers......and in one case, a daughter adjusted the scarf on her dad just so that the Wilmu embroidery would show. Susan, who drove all the way from souther NJ to participate, proudly shows off her PGM sweatshirt............Susan C. keeps up with the Firstgiving website to see what our total fundraising is up to. As one of our Pennsylvaia students, she drove down all the way from NE Philadelphia to participate! ...... How do you like her polar bear mittens? ... Alumni Chapter members showed up in force to support us-- Three cheers for the Alums and their furry friends! ... The wet suit guys test the waters before the plungers are allowed in, and you can see how quickly the waters is deep-- guess that's the effects of winter storm erosion... ...... A very excited Dena shows her joy at accomplishing her first ever plunge! ...... The Delaware BETA Chapter raised over $2500.00 for this year's plunge!
