JOMM's "Plunge for Hunger" - starting in 2018, fundraising chairman DJ Rodrian & Chris Capper were inspired to jump into Lake Michigan as a publicity stunt to raise awareness and funds on a tight budget. The tradition has evolved over the years, with a handful of participants giving it a try, sometimes in costume. In 2023 and now in 2024, DJ Rodrian is plunging while dressed in the original bear costume. Crazy? Yes, but our motto is, "we'll do anything to feed the hungry!" Please consider donating any amount, we are blessed by you!
