Let’s get freezin’ for a reason! Join us on Saturday, January 27th, 2024 at Winter Island Park in Salem, MA for our 2nd Annual Mental Makeover Polar Plunge to raise awareness and funds to fight the stigma surrounding mental health. Jump into the frigid waters of Winter Island with us and warm up indoors after with music, raffles, games, and delicious hot cocoa, coffee, and food from local sponsors. 

Registration will open at 10:00 AM; Polar Plunge will kick off at 11:00 AM. Registration is $30. The first 100 registrants will receive a free Mental Makeover beach towel! To register, click the "Donate Now" button to pay your registration fee and sign your safety waiver.

Next, you can create a fundraising page for your friends and family to support your dedication to plunging in ice cold water and if you raise $100 or more, you’ll receive VERY comfy Mental Makeover sweatpants! The top three fundraisers will also receive a Grand Prize. Click the "Start a Fundraiser" button and follow the instructions.

Why? 

Plunging into ice cold water means facing discomfort. You may feel vulnerable running into the water bare in the peak of winter. Similarly, talking about mental health can be uncomfortable and vulnerable. It can be hard to break the ice and start a conversation. Let’s plunge together to get out of our comfort zones, face the discomfort, and break the ice around talking about mental health! 

All funds support our mission at Mental Makeover. Mental Makeover is a mental health-focused non-profit organization committed to fighting the stigma surrounding mental health and empowering young people to learn about mental health and share their own thoughts, emotions, and experiences. We are changing the WAY mental health is talked about through (W)ellness, (A)wareness and (Y)outh education.
