An anniversary tomorrow for the Voyageur Lion's club's Polar Plunge in Fort Frances.
It was 10 years ago that club first invited people to jump in Rainy Lake to start the new year.
Event Chair Jim Martindale says it's raised thousands of dollars for local charities since.
"Initially it was a fundraiser for our club and we shared that with the (Fort Frances) Aquanauts," says Martindale. "Then we decided it would be better to share with all non-profit groups that wish to participate and give them fifty per cent back. The other fifty per cent comes to our club and we use that locally."
The first jump attracted nine people raising $6,000.
Last year, 59 people took part to collect $14,000.
