Drew Raven exited the water at the 15-minute mark after learning he had secured the win in the Adult Men’s division.

In a notable display of generosity, the adult winners donated their winnings to youth champion Korbin Douty.

The event atmosphere was energized by enthusiastic spectators cheering on participants. At one point, ice-cold water was sprayed toward the participants with water guns, adding an extra challenge and drawing laughter from the crowd.

Safety operations were supported by the Citizens Hose No. 5 Dive Team, who remained on standby throughout the event to ensure participant safety.

In addition to the plunge, attendees participated in basket raffles and a 50/50 drawing, further contributing to the fundraiser’s success.
