Taking the Plunge for a Worthy Cause: The December Dip
We are aiming to raise funds and mental health awareness for the people of Middlesbrough and Stockton.
The Christmas holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and giving back to the community. This December 21st, we invite you to join us for an extraordinary fundraising event that combines the spirit of giving with an exhilarating, icy challenge. We’re thrilled to introduce ‘The December Dip,’ a plunge into the freezing cold waters of Redcar sea. But this isn’t just any cold-water dip; it’s an opportunity to support Mind Teesside in their mission to improve mental health awareness and provide essential support to vulnerable individuals in Middlesbrough and Stockton.
The Cause:
Mind Teesside is an organisation that tirelessly works to break the stigma surrounding mental health and offer a lifeline to those in need. With their invaluable services and resources, they aim to create a community that is better informed and equipped to handle mental health challenges. By participating in ‘The December Dip,’ you’ll be directly contributing to their efforts to make a difference in the lives of individuals struggling with mental health issues.
The Challenge:
Our fundraiser sets the stage for an epic challenge that matches the depths of your generosity. Here are the depths we’re willing to go based on the amount raised:
- £200: Knee deep
- At this milestone, participants will brave the cold waters up to their knees, feeling the initial shock of the icy embrace.
- £400: Hip deep
- As donations keep pouring in, we’ll push the limits and go waist-deep into the frigid sea, reminding ourselves of the importance of this cause with each chilling wave.
- £500: Neck deep
- When we reach this fundraising goal, it’s time to take the plunge up to your neck. The waters will be unforgiving, but so is our commitment to raising awareness about mental health.
- £1000: Going under – Head deep
- This is the ultimate challenge. If we reach the remarkable milestone of £1000, our brave participants will fully submerge, going head deep into the icy depths. It symbolises our unwavering dedication to supporting Mind Teesside and their mission.
