Plunge Into 2012 for Breast Cancer Fundraiser on Sea Bright Beach

The Next Generation Foundation will start 2012 off with a Polar Bear Plunge fundraiser on January 1, in their trademark Save the Boobs style.

Teaming up with in Sea Bright, the Next Generation Foundation will ring in the new year as participants brave nature and battle Breast Cancer.

The Next Generation Foundation is looking for plungers, volunteers, towel holders and anyone to come out on New Year’s Day and lend their support.

Participants must raise a minimum of $50 to plunge. The registration fee will include a hot lunch buffet for the participant and their guest. Plungers who raise more than $150 will receive a limited edition "Save the Boobs" hooded sweatshirt the day of the event, and an iPad 2 will be awarded to the highest fundraiser. Participants can register by going right to the Next Generation Foundation’s website at www.nextgenerationfoundation.com. The website can also be utilized by donating to a participant. The plunge starts at 1:00pm on Sea Bright Beach and lunch will be served at 1:15pm.

“I can’t wait to plunge! My mother is a Breast Cancer survivor. For her, I can battle Mother Nature and brave the elements as her bravery inspires me each day,” said Dave Denisson. “The Next Generation Foundation is a wonderfully energetic and young organization that has changed the view on the usual fundraiser. They provide great entertainment and truly believe in the cause. Their excitement resonates and inspires others to become a part of the change as the funds raised are used locally.”

Proceeds raised from this event will help to fund mammograms for women in our community.

This is one of 5 events The Next Generation Foundation organizes throughout the year. In addition to the Polar Bear Plunge, they also hold a “Day at the Races” at Monmouth Park, the Save the BOOBS ROCK’tober Fundraiser, Bowl for Boobs, and their annual black tie gala.

The Next Generation Foundation is a youth-based organization with a mission to get the younger generation involved with the fight against cancer. Whether it is raising awareness, fundraising or simply educating themselves on a disease that is so prevalent, we believe that their involvement could make for major advancements in finding a cure for cancer in the future.
