Dubbed "I Took The Plunge For Kids," the first annual event invites kids to run, jump or dunk their heads under the freezing water at Greenwich Point in Old Greenwich. The event is free, but proceeds raised from encouraged donations at the event will go to Kids in Crisis.

The plunge will take place at noon sharp. Participants are strongly urged to get to Tod’s Point around 11:30 a.m., as traffic is anticipated. A group photo will be taken at 11:50 a.m. before a countdown run into the water.

Limited edition T-shirts will be available for $20.

I Took the Plunge for Kids is sponsored by Angela Swift of Prudential Realty.
