Every year the Jordan Hospital Club holds the Jordan’s Polar Plunge as a means of raising funds for those in need. The plunge involves intrepid souls diving, or just dipping their feet, into the ocean at Nelson’s Beach. This year’s Plunge will take place on Saturday, March 4, 2017 at 10:30 AM – 12:30pm, at Nelson’s Park in Plymouth. Registration starts at 10:30 am and the Plunge is at 12:00 pm.

President Tsaffaras plans to take the “plunge” again this year. This will be the eighth time in five years that he will brave the elements and take a polar plunge for charity.
