Southold Students Start Fundraising Campaign

Southold Jr. Sr. High School’s seventh graders are organizing a fundraising event that they have named the SOHO Cold Water Plunge for Clean Water.

Using the web tools developed by the non-profit organization Charity: Water, the students developed their own unique campaign, which seeks to fund clean water projects in Kenya.

The students will also donate a part of the proceeds from the cold water plunge to Group for the East End, a Long Island advocacy group that raises awareness about local environmental issues.

The SOHO Cold Plunge for Clean Water will take place on Saturday, March 28 at noon at Founder’s Landing in Southold.

Their goal according to their fundraising page on charitywater.org, is to raise $1,500 and as of Friday, $140 has been raise.
