Get Cold For A Good Cause At The 2023 Polar Bear Plunge In Seaside Heights, NJ
These are some of the best events around in my opinion, and when it all goes to support a fantastic cause, it's even better.
Picture this; it's a brisk winter morning, the high temperature for the day is 28 degrees and the ocean temperature is a balmy 40 degrees.
Despite the cold, you're decked out in your bathing suit, goggles, and water shoes, and are getting ready to take a dive into that chilly ocean.
It's not just a hypothetical situation, this could be you at this year's Polar Bear Plunge in Seaside Heights New Jersey.
