CCRH Internship Program

We are so excited to kick off our Polar Bear Fundraising Challenge in support of our Internship Program. Now that we are back in person at the Asilomar. We invite you to participate in the Polar Bear Plunge and pledge an amount of at least $250 and nominate a fellow Houser or anyone, who supports the goals of the internship program to take the plunge in a body of cold water. If the nominee accepts the challenge, we ask that they submit a video recording of taking the plunge in the ocean, river, bathtub, or swimming pool, pour a bucket of ice water over their head to [email protected] by October 17th or they can jump in the ocean on-site at Asilomar during the summit. You may pledge your amount and nomination here, https://lnkd.in/dQzTEvKx Check back on this form to see updates.

If you simply cannot wait to support the Internship Program, we welcome gifts of any amount anytime here https://lnkd.in/gZXz_Zu Scroll to the end of the webpage to see options.
