Take Part in Hospice’s 20th Christmas Day Dip
Tickets are now available for brave ‘dippers’ wanting to take the plunge this Christmas, as St Elizabeth Hospice’s Christmas Day Dip returns for the 20th year this festive season.
The independent Suffolk charity is once again asking the local community to show its love for its local hospice by completing a fundraising dip in the North Sea, on Christmas Day, with tickets now available to purchase for £15 until 22nd December – while on the day registration also available.
The much-loved event will see hundreds of ‘dippers’ don festive outfits before plunging into the icy cold North Sea at Felixstowe to raise vital funds, through sponsorship, for St Elizabeth Hospice which every year delivers free care to on average over 4,000 patients and their families throughout East & Mid Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney.
James Fox-Golding, Events and Challenges Manager at the hospice, said: “We are so pleased to announce the return of Christmas Day Dip for 2024.
“This year marks a landmark 20th edition of the dip, which has become a real Christmas Day staple for so many, as the local community joins together to show their support for the hospice.
“Every penny raised will make a difference to our staff, as they care for patients and their families throughout East & Mid Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney during very difficult times in their lives.”
The St Elizabeth Hospice Christmas Day Dip 2024 will take place on Christmas Day at 10am, opposite Mannings Amusement on Felixstowe seafront.
Tickets include a medal. To register visit https://register.enthuse.com/ps/event/ChristmasDayDip2024
Funds raised through the Christmas Day Dip will go towards the hospice’s Christmas fundraising campaign, Be a Star, which helps the hospice support hundreds of patients and their families over the Christmas period.
