The first Plunge for a Purpose took place at Goose Rocks Beach on Sunday, February 12th at 2 p.m. More than 20 brave souls waded into the chilly Atlantic to raise funds for the Keith McClelland Community Music Foundation.

Each 'plunger' was dedicated to raising at least $100 and 'non-plungers' offered their moral and financial support to the plunger of their choice. Some of our plungers elected a proxy to represent them in the 'run to the waves.'  The day was sunny, the air temperature was around 20 degrees and with a biting wind of 15 mph, the wind chill was 4 degrees!

It was a great event, definitely filled with chills and thrills. We raised more than $5,000! Donations from our Snowbird plungers can be made through this website by going to our donation page or sending a check to The Church on the Cape, Memo: Music Foundation.

The foundation is dedicated to bringing quality music to the Kennebunks.
