The air may have been chilly, the water ?may have been icy but the spirits were warm ☀️and friendly at Eastern Shore of Virginia Habitat ? for Humanity’s 2020 “Freezin for A Reason” benefit. A large crowd of supporters on shore watched as Celebrity Dippers Todd Burbage and Jamie Mahoney led the charge into the Bay from the Cape Charles beach ?. Ranging from young to old, the Dippers were an enthusiastic group, splashing ? into the water with abandon…. and racing back out with alacrity ! Kiptopeake Elementary School fielded a sizable team – Go, Kippers, go ! Members of the Cape Charles Coast Guard were on hand both as Dippers and to provide rescue help if needed and a Coast Guard cutter⚓️ patrolled off-shore throughout the event. Afterwards, lunch ?and awards ?for the Dippers, a nice treat for lending a hand ( also their cold blue ? toes ) for Habitat’s very important cause- helping to provide safe, affordable housing ? here on the Shore.
