Burroughs Community Center, Inc.

Burroughs Freezin' for a Reason 2009 Bridgeport,  Connecticut

Jim Brewster's Fundraising Page

So what do you think about my outfit? 

I am not quite sure how I am going to get through it but on February 7th I will be joining a bunch of other crazy people in a quick dip in the LI Sound! 

We'll be raising money by "Freezin' for a Reason" for the Burroughs Community Center and all the great programs that take place there everyday, including an after school program, a tutoring program and an income taxes filing program to help low income families obtain appropriate refunds.

The folks who did this last year tell me that the water temperature was 38 degrees and a light snow was falling.   I am not at all looking forward to this experience......but I bet you are!  You can help make me do it with a generous contribution to get me in the icy water.

Thanks....and if you want to join me in the water let me know!

Jim
