The 2007 Event

 

In 2007, the warmest water we've had (4C!) was braved by over 450 dippers as over 5000 spectators watched and cheered. These brave participants, the enthusiastic crowd and our generous corporate sponsors helped us reach our goal. We raised over $40,000 for the Koukané Water Project in Senegal.

The Project will help provide a safe, dependable source of water for over 1,300 people in one of Senegal's most impoverished regions. A borehole well with solar pump will be built, along with a ground reservoir, offering a safe, central source of water to sustain eight surrounding communities. With fresh, clean water, residents will be able to grow vegetables throughout the year, increase their food supply and income security, and improve the health and well being of the entire community.
