Third Annual Polar Plunge

In Your Shoes, a giving circle, will host its 3rd Annual Polar
Plunge.

According to the newsletter, last year's Polar Plunge raised more than $10,000, "which IYS, a nonprofit charitable organization,
used to fund programs that help Westborough residents in
need as well as supporting the Food Pantry and WYFS."

The mission of IYS “is to make a difference in our community by providing assistance and emergency funds to Westborough residents in need.”

WYFS Director John Badenhausen "will brave the icy waters
of Lake Chauncey to benefit IYS and the many town organizations and individuals they support."

This year, a portion of the money will benefit both the Westborough Youth and Family Services and the Westborough Emergency (Fire and Police) Services.
