Polar Bear Dip & Dash
December 24, 2022 - January 1, 2023
$65NRCM’s 15th Annual Polar Bear Dip & Dash
A benefit for our work to fight climate change
Join us at Southern Maine Community College on Saturday, December 31, 2022, for a 5K walk/run and/or a dip into the chilly Atlantic Ocean! Or, participate at a location of your choosing between Saturday, December 24th and Sunday, January 1st.
We are pleased to announce that our 2022 Dip & Dash will once again be in person, though you also have the option of dipping and/or dashing closer to home if you prefer.
The effects of climate change on Maine’s environment are severe. We’re already seeing extreme weather patterns. Wildlife habitat and our recreation, leaf-peeping, and fishing industries are threatened. Seas are rising and our air quality is decreasing.
The Natural Resources Council of Maine advocates for energy-efficient solutions for homes and businesses, pollution-free air, clean transportation, and renewable energy sources. Every cent raised through the 2022 Polar Bear Dip & Dash will be used to directly support this work to reduce emissions and realize a clean energy future.
The nonrefundable registration fee to dip, dash, or both is $65. Additionally, friends and family can support your efforts through a personal fundraising page.
