Three questions. Three easy answers.

  • What does it cost?

    Nothing. Taking part is free, and the fundraiser is optional and never required.

  • Is it safe?

    Safety comes first. Ice baths only happen where an athletic trainer is covering, and elementary schools have no ice-tub activity at all.

  • What do we have to do?

    Pick what fits. We send the kits, posters, checklists and event instructions.
