Getting Chilly For Charity

PRINCE GEORGE – How much money would it take for you to jump into a pool of ice-cold water outside in the snow?

The answer for a few dozen UNBC JDC West team members, alumni, faculty, and community members is $25,000. But they don’t keep the money. 

This year the money will go toward four Orthopedic O.R. Video Towers. These allow the doctors to have a clearer crisper video of the surgery they are performing, as well as allowing for faster procedures.

During the event, participants dress up in a costume and jump into the freezing water. Most of the fundraising takes place prior to the event but during it, there is the option to purchase buckets of ice for $50 that gets dumped into the water.
