Cold for a Cause

The Miami Beach Cupid Splash was inspired by an event in Boston to raise funds for Save the Harbor/Save the Bay's free youth and beach programs. Though we don't expect snow in South Beach on February 16th, the Atlantic Ocean off Miami Beach will be a just 68 degrees, which is as cold as it gets for those of us in 305! 

100% of the pledges from the 2025 Splash will go directly to Miami-Dade County’s Biscayne Bay Recovery Fund, a 501c3 non-profit managed by the Miami Foundation, to support efforts to clean, protect and restore Biscayne Bay and support the Zero Drownings Miami-Dade Initiative, as well as youth fishing, conservation and environmental education programs in 2025.

There will be great prizes for the best Valentine's Day themed costumes and the biggest fundraisers, including vacations, staycations, gift cards and getaways. So register today, raise some funds from your family, friends, followers and fans and join us on the beach on February. Sure you will cold for a few minutes on the beach, but the warm feeling you get from supporting a great cause will last for a long time!

See you on the beach on February 16th!

Here's a short video from the Boston event, which I hope you will enjoy.

About the Miami Beach Cupid Splash

 

The Miami Beach Cupid Splash is a traditional cold water "pledge and plunge" fundraiser with a twist. Rather than jumping into 38 degree water in New England or the Midwest, we will be splashing at Collins Park Beach in Miami's spectacular South Beach, where the water will be a refreshingly cool 68 degrees.

100% of the pledges from the 2025 Splash will go directly to Miami-Dade County’s Biscayne Bay Recovery Fund, a 501c3 non-profit managed by the Miami Foundation, to support efforts to clean, protect and restore Biscayne Bay and support the Zero Drownings Miami Dade Initiative, as well as youth fishing, conservation and environmental education programs in 2025.

There will be great prizes for the best Valentine's Day themed costumes and the biggest fundraisers, including vacations, staycations, gift cards and getaways. So register today, raise some funds from your family, friends, followers and fans and join us on the beach on February. Sure you will cold for a few minutes on the beach, but the warm feeling you get from supporting a great cause will last for a long time!
