HELPING WNY PEOPLE & ORGANIZATIONS IN NEED SINCE 1969

... and this year, besides our annual Parade of Heroes, Costume Contest, Plunge, and Kids Zone, enter a team in the inaugural, 'Winter Dodgeball Championships.'
(6-person teams) At least one member of your Dodgeball Team must be taking the plunge.

Support someone taking the plunge or take it yourself - it's invigorating!

To support a participant, click 'Donate' and choose who you support.To Register for the Swim click on Fundraise.
Choose whether you are an Individual, a Team, or joining a registered team. Once completed, start sharing the link that your registration will create and share it with your friends, family, and associates. Ask them to help support your plunge!!!

Once you raise $50.00 you are officially registered for the swim. With that, you qualify for an official Olcott Polar Bear Swim t-shirt. For teams, $50.00 is required for each participant in your team.

Oh, whether you are registering or donating, we're using a secure fundraising app partner called, Zeffy. Over the last several years the Lions have used Zeffy to manage our Polar Bear Swim. Reason? Zeffy covers all the credit card fees for nonprofits. They just ask, when checking out, to help support them and their mission by helping cover the costs. They want to help more nonprofits like us.  
 

BTW, the more funds you or your team raise the more official Polar Bear Swim merchandise you qualify for. Check out our site for details. You also have the chance to win individual or team grand prize trophies for those that help raise the most funds for the Swim.

Please help if you can.
