Sloper Plunge raises $100K for campers By Faith Williams Record-Journal staff
SOUTHINGTON — Over 200 participants and 1,500 spectators gathered at Camp Sloper for the 17th annual Sloper Plunge Saturday afternoon. The event brings teams from the community together to jump into the chilly waters of Sloper Pond to raise money so children can attend summer camp at YMCA Camp Sloper, Camp Quinnipiac in Cheshire and Naciwonki Summer Adventures.
Last year, the event raised over $90,000. This year the participants and donors raised over $100,000, according to Mark Pooler, chief executive officer of the Southington-Cheshire YMCA .

Team Brian was the first to go into the pond. The team was created in honor of Brian Goralski, former Southington Board of Education chairman, who died in September 2021 after a battle with cancer.
