Children's Charities of the Midlands 2026 Auction

Join us in making a difference in bettering the welfare of children in need. We will be Freezin' for a Reason with our annual Polar Bear Plunge event on January 17th, 2026 to benefit Children's Charities of the Midlands. Our event takes place in the Lake Carolina community in Columbia SC. We aren't cutting ice, but 40-degree weather and water are plenty cold to make a small sacrifice to benefit the kids. We will do the hard part of plunging. We need you to do the easy part by bidding on items to help the cause. The ChippenWhales team and Children's Charities of the Midlands (a 501(c)3 charity) are 100% volunteer organizations. Your entire donation benefits the kids! Thank you for being so supportive! Many groups and kids will benefit from the efforts of CCM's work. The ChippenWhales plunge team plans to do their part in assisting their efforts with your help. Beneficiaries of CCM include non profit organizations that have a focus on bettering the health, welfare, and education of children in need. We will do the hard part by freezing in the lake, but that will be nothing compared to what families go through raising children with special needs. Please bid on an item here or donate at https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/ccm-partners-with-the-chippenwhales-polar-plunge-team-for-kids-in-need
