December 31, 2012 (HYANNIS) _ Some very brave – and maybe a little crazy Cape Codders – will be jumping into the icy Atlantic tomorrow at annual polar bear plunges.

All the events benefit various charities.

The Monument Beach Polar Club will jump at noon to benefit the Bourne Friends Food Pantry.

In Harwich – swimmers will brave the waters of Bank Street Beach at noon in support of Hope Dementia and Alzheimer’s Services.

Plunges will also take place at Millway Beach in Barnstable Village and Surrey Lane Beach in Falmouth.
