ReVision Energy is a sponsor of Natural Resource Council of Maine’s 4th annual Polar Bear Dip & Dash, an event designed to raise awareness of global warming by sending hundreds of brave souls plunging the Atlantic Ocean at East End Beach in Portland on New Year’s Eve.

This year’s even features a 5k walk/run, added for those of you who want to participate but aren’t quite ready to plunge into the icy, cold ocean. If you want to do both the dip and the dash, you are welcome to! And encourage your friends and family to join you!

See the video below for a taste of the good spirits, fun, and importance of this annual endeavor:
