Burroughs Freezin' for a Reason 2009 Bridgeport,  Connecticut

Jack Collins, Red and Kevin are Freezin For a Reason

Hello Family and Friends! 

We're doing it again and this year I'm being joined by Red and Kevin on February 7th at 11AM when we will be jumping into the freezing waters of Long Island Sound at Jennings Beach in FairfieldCT.  Proceeds of the event benefit all of the families at Burroughs Community Center. We hope you will be able to help us take the plunge by donating to this worthy cause. Also, if you are interested in joining us in plunging, go to www.firstgiving.com/burroughs for more information and to sign up!
 
Jack, Red and Kevin
 
P.S. Join us at Jennings Beach then on to The Gaelic American Club for the "Post Plunge Party".
