The 2010 Chillin’ for Charity Polar Bear Swim will be held on Wednesday, November 16th, 2010 at 11:45am in Quad on the University Campus. Participants are required to check-in at the registration table in the southwest corner of CAB (near Pita Pit and Booster Juice) no later than 11:15 on Wednesday, November 16th. Please bring your completed pledge form & donations with you when you check-in. There will be a designated, monitored area for you to leave your belongings while you participate in the event.

Participants will wait inside the southwest doors of CAB and will be called out individually or as groups as their “jump time” approaches. After “taking the plunge”, participants are encouraged to warm up in the hot tubs and participate in many of the other activities. Participants are also encouraged to interact with media and photographers.

Participants must collect their belongings from the monitored area in CAB no later than 2:00pm, when the event is officially over.

Participant Checklist
What to bring with you to the Polar Bear Swim:

• Your completed pledge form and all donations. We will collect your donations and pledge forms at the registration desk on the day of the event. Please have all donations in a sealed, labeled envelope. You must check-in at the registration table no later than 11:15 on Wednesday, November 16th, 2010.
• Your costume! All participants are encouraged to dress up in wacky, fun costumes as they take the plunge. Browse through the photos on our website for some great individual and group costume ideas. Be creative, there are prizes for the best-dressed participants!
• A towel and dry clothing for after you jump. Although hot tubs and a sauna will be provided to warm up in, you will need a towel and clothing to change into once the event is over. There will be a secure, monitored area for you to leave your belongings while you participate in the event.
• Your friends & family! Participants are strongly encouraged to invite friends and family to the event to share in the excitement. All participants will be notified of their scheduled “jump time” prior to the event to ensure family and friends don’t miss out on the fun. There will be a fenced off standing area, bleachers, hot chocolate, snow cones, penguins and more for everyone to enjoy.
