The Polar Bear Swim 2021 was memorable because of you!
We took up the challenge of organizing a wonderful (virtual) community event despite the pandemic. 50 people took the plunge with their household from December 18 2020 to January 5 2021. 100 donors helped us raise $2,750 for Kootenay Co-op Radio and Friends of Kootenay Lake
We are very grateful to our generous sponsors: Backwoods Sauna , Nelson Nordic Ski Club, Whitewater Ski Resort , Gericks Cycle and Ski , Secret Service Cycles, Cake Betty Cafe and Cakery , Frog Peak Cafe and The Tickle Trunk Shop
We wish you the best for 2021!
