The 43rd annual BEL Rotary Polar Plunge in is the books and what a huge success it was! After two years of the virtual plunge, jumpers were able to gather in person and brave the frigid waters of Chemong Lake. More than 100 jumpers took to the water and raised in excess of 50,000!
Money raised from the plunge is divided between the charity of the plunger’s choice and BEL Rotary. Local programs of the BEL Club include sponsorship of the annual “Adopt a Family” festive season program, support of Chemong Community Care, food sustainability, support for local schools and the development and maintenance of Rotary Park in Ennismore and BEL Rotary Bridgenorth Trail. Internationally the club supports the refurbishing of schools in Nepal, clean water in Cambodia and the world wide eradication of polio.
The Rotary Club of Bridgenorth Ennismore Lakefield wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers, community supporters and of course the “Polar Plungers” who braved the weather and the water on Feb 5th to make this event a success. Our community is the true benefactor!
