Polar Plunge Builds Strong Kids

Eighty very hardy souls took "the plunge" for the benefit of the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign at the Southington-Cheshire Community YMCA recently. $16,000 was raised to send kids to camp this summer at YMCA Camp Sloper. The Wilton Family YMCA has this month jumped into the frigid waters with a Penguin Plunge to benefit the Special Olympics.
