Join the Drowned Hogs and Chill Out for a Great Cause!
HULL, MA- For the 17th year in a row, the icy month of January ends when the Drowned Hogs storm Nantasket Beach with their annual mad dash into the Atlantic. At noon, on Saturday, January 28, 2012, hundreds of hardy nutcases committed to doing something cool and crazy for a cause—Wellspring Multi-Service Center—will predict the arrival of spring in their own special way. Anyone can join, but there are a few rules:
· The swim doesn’t count unless the swimmer fully dunks.
· Wet suits are allowed ONLY if the wearer also wears a tutu and a tiara!
All individuals, groups or families with warm hearts willing to do something cool for charity are welcome to join the craziness. High school teams, college groups, running clubs, multi-generational families, sports teams, book clubs and hipsters have all become regular participants. Registration fee is $10. and includes T Shirt.
Following the high-noon, polar plunge, survivors and onlookers are all invited to warm up at the Drowned Hog Soup and Chowder Fest at the Nantasket Beach Resort presenting scrumptious offerings from dozens of local restaurants including Jakes, Barefoot Bob's, Schooner's, The Red Parrot, Paragon Grille, Daddy's Beach Club, Johnny G’s, Nantasket Shores, and Lobster Express. Tickets are $10.—all proceeds will benefit Wellspring’s food pantry.
It’s not too late to join in the awesome anti-freeze activities. Join the hundreds of philanthropists who straddle a fine line between charity and insanity…and go hog-wild for charity!
