The COVID-19 pandemic didn’t put a damper on the 2
nd Kapuskasing Rotary Club Bay Dip Challenge on Saturday. In fact organizers were able to raise $31,000 which is $7,000 more than last year. Committee Chairman Don McInnis says 19 different charities will be benefited.
“Some charities had multiple jumpers so I think it will help them out,” he said. “In this pandemic a lot of smaller charities and non-profits didn’t have the means to raise money for themselves.”
McInnis says the true heroes on the day were the participants.
“It was frigid, the wind was blowing, it was cold,” he reported. “And these jumpers came out and raised pledges for different charities and weathered the cold, boy. We had a few frost bitten fingers and sore knees and what not but it was just incredible.”

The Kapuskasing Rotary Club has a Plan ‘B’ for their Bay Dip Challenge in case the provincial lockdown is extended through February. Organizer Don McInnis says the club will offer an extreme way to complete their challenges if they can’t jump in the Kap River.
He adds the participant can have a person inside their bubble take a video of their extreme challenge and upload it to the Bay Dip Facebook page. Last year’s event raised nearly $25,000 for charity and McInnis says the response to signing up for this year has been amazing.
