The Polar Bear Plunge, 2015





(Pictured above from left to right is Jack Rochanakit, Tara Schroeder, Olivia Christiano, Meghan Schroeder, Kyra Ehrlinger, and Olivia Grabher)


    Many attended the Long Beach Polar Plunge including many Island Trees National Junior Honor Society Members. Those who attended participated in an icy ocean dip mid-day in the 30 degree cold. The Polar Plunge isn't just for a great time but rather for a great cause. The plunge proceeds go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The National Junior Honor Society joined in on the fun to support Jack Rochanakit; an annual polar plunger.
    Along with the generous donations of many and the National Junior Honor Society selling bracelets to raise money to donate the Island Trees National Junior Honor Society sold 300 bracelets.  In total the National Junior Honor Society raised approximately $1,000 to be donated to The Make-A-Wish-Foundation!
    Thank you to all who donated! Hope you see you next year at the Polar Plunge!
