The Big Effort Chill is back for its third annual plunge, and this year, we’re turning up the cool factor! Starting December 1st, we’re kicking off a 30-day polar plunge challenge to support the incredible work of the Stewardship Society.
Here’s how it works:

Take the plunge! Film yourself braving the icy waters and share your video on social media.
Tag @BigEffortSwim and use #BigEffortChill to spread the word.
Include the link to your PledgeIt profile so your friends and family can donate to your effort.
The more you plunge, the more you raise, and the more good we do for the Stewardship Society!
💧 Missed December 1st? No problem! You can jump in (literally!) at any point during the challenge.
So, grab your wetsuit—or don’t—and show us your frosty flair. Let’s make a splash for the planet this New Year’s season!
