NEW DATE - Saturday, March 27th
Hello Supporters,
The devastation in Haiti is unlike anything the world has ever seen before. Thankfully the worldwide community is coming to the aid of the people of Haiti. The greater Bridgeport area is getting involved as you would expect. At Burroughs we know firsthand just how supportive the local community can be. We know that our closest friends and supporters think globally as well as locally.
It is for that reason that we have decided to postpone our 3rd annual “Freezin’ for a Reason” event from February 13th to Saturday, March 27th. The plunge will now take place at 11am. We hope that this decision will allow each of us and all our friends and family to play whatever role we can possibly play in the relief effort in Haiti.
We hope that you will be able to plunge with us that day and help raise the dollars needed for all the terrific programs at Burroughs. Go to www.firstgiving.com/burroughs to register or donate.
