ALEXANDRIA BAY, New York (WWNY) – Once again, one of River Hospital’s biggest fundraisers went virtual, with participants braving icy waters in the Polar Bear Dip.
So, how does a virtual dip work? People recorded themselves jumping into cold water, or dumping cold water on themselves, or jumping into snow. Basically, if it’s cold, it works.
A compilation show could be viewed online Saturday afternoon. Did you miss it? Check it out here.
The event raised more than $68,000. That surpasses the goal of $50,000.
This year’s funding will support resources for the Emergency Department and additional cardiac monitors, which are critical to the hospital’s COVID-19 response efforts.
