It takes a special kind of devotion for someone to leap into a 33-degree lake for charity, and Reston was proud to host lots of these generous and hilarious people yesterday. On Saturday, February 7, 2015, the eighth annual Freezin’ for a Reason Virginia Polar Dip took place at Lake Anne Plaza. This event raises money for Camp Sunshine, a retreat for children with life-threatening illnesses. You can learn more about Camp Sunshine in our article from last week here.
This year there were 336 brave, kind, and slightly crazy people who jumped. Participants in the Virginia Polar Dip raised money to sponsor their jump, with each person donating at least $100. One team raised $19,000!
I was there to take lots of photos of all the action. Here are some of my favorites.
