The 4th Annual Plunge for Hope will be held on Saturday, February 20th at Lakeside Church in Cambridge.  Registration begins at 10:30, the jump is at noon, and there will be a chili, bake sale and new this year a Silent Auction.  

The Plunge for Hope had its beginning in Feb of 2007. It was held at Lakeside Church in Cambridge, and was hosted by New Hope Community Church. The event began as an effort to pull people together from all denominations and backgrounds to raise money for community outreach. Past year’s event included a food drive to restock the food shelf, a chili feed, prizes for the best costume and most money raised, and LOADS of fun. Over 100 people have braved the arctic waters to raise money for our worthy benefactors, including the Braham girl’s basketball team, and two men all the way from India!!. More than 600+ people have gathered to watch the last 3 years. The we have raised over $15,000 in the past and 100% of that went back into the community in the form of donations. We want this year’s event to be bigger and better than last year’s so we can further the community outreach. Sharing God’s love and reaching out to those in need is our mission. Lets raise over $10,000 in this jump alone! What a testimony!!!  

The proceeds from this years event will benefit Somewhere Else, The Fish House, and the land fund for New Hope Community Church.  The Fish House is a local recovery ministry for those struggling with addiction.  More info can be found on their website.  Somewhere Else is a small coffee shop that is volunteer supported by some personal and business contributions. The volunteered staff provides a safe environment and a soft side to a spiritual place to be. There has been major transformation from kids that have gone there and that still do. We feel strongly about coming along side this ministry and supporting this cause.
