POLAR BEAR PLUNGE
SUNDAY, JANUARY 31 BRUNCH 11:00AM-2:00PM | PLUNGE 2:00PM
Our annual Polar Bear Plunge is back! Each year, McConnell Golf's Footprints on the Green program supports the World Wildlife Foundation's efforts to protect the Arctic and the polar bear population. This year our volunteers are Phillip (club manager), Kyle (bar manager), Brandon (golf course superintendent), and Tito (tennis pro). It's up to the members to sponsor them to take the plunge into the icy cold pool! Each volunteer needs to raise at least $200 to jump. Members are invited to take the plunge with them as well! Bring the whole family over for this exciting event where we will have brunch, hot beverages, and this year... a big inflatable slide! Who's team are you on?
