6th annual April Fools Swim in Chatham
CHATHAM - April 1st is right around the corner, and the planning of the 6th Annual April Fools Swim is kicking into high gear. Given the recent weather, it is hard to believe "fools" will be jumping into the water in a few weeks.The April Fools Plunge is a polar plunge that started in 2008 with 10 swimmers (mostly from the Chatham Fire Dept). That year a $100 donation was made to Prostate Cancer in memory of one of the FF's father-in-law. Firefighters pledeged to participate in an April Fools Day Plunge every year, and each year would would raise money for a different local family/individual in need.
The event has grown exponentially over the last 6 years, with last year seeing nearly 300 people participate. Over 5 years of fundraising, $42,000 has been raised which has gone directly into the pockets of individuals or families, to help alleviate the numerous expenses incurred while battling illness/injury.
