Best year to yet! Last year Polar Dip organizer Kim Cavers (above) was thrilled to have raised $80,000 and her aspirations for this year were to hopefully match last year’s success. That she did! This year’s event, held on Saturday, January 29 at Kingsville Pavilion and Cedar Beach attracted 240 participants on 34 teams who raised a total of $72,000 in pledges. The Fire & Ice dinner and dance held Saturday night added another $23,000 (and counting) to bring the one-day total to $95,000! “We had some new teams, new sponsors - it’s just the right people... we have awesome team captains that keep everyone motivated,” said Cavers of this year’s success. The top fundraising team for 2012 was Highline Muchrooms who raised $10,003. In second place was the Dippy Chicks (Leamington Women’s Hockey League) with $6,500. Participants raising $1,000 or more are entered into a grand draw prize of a trip to Vegas. This year’s winner was Lawrence Zimmermann.
