Marsh Madness

HELPING THE KIDS ONE SPLASH AT A TIME!

What is Marsh Madness? It’s our annual Polar Bear Plunge benefiting YMCA youth financial assistance. It’s simple. Form a team (or plunge alone, whatever you’d like!), raise some money, and jump into the lake! We promise, it’s not (that) cold, but it is the coolest event of the year!

While our event has historically occurred in March, our lucky little leprechaun mascot is trading in his top hat  and becoming an elf! That’s right, our plunge has a new, exciting holiday theme, so bring some holiday cheer, don your favorite Christmas apparel, and get ready to experience our classic polar bear plunge, Santa-style!

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we’re trying something new for our 2021 plunge. While our event has historically occurred in March, our lucky little leprechaun mascot is trading in his top hat this year and becoming an elf! That’s right, our plunge has a new, exciting holiday theme, so bring some holiday cheer, don your favorite Christmas apparel, and get ready to experience our classic polar bear plunge, Santa-style!

Thank you to our 2022 Event Sponsors!
