Compared to the air temperature, the water temperature of Cayuga lake is going to feel like bath water (not)! The good news is that there's plenty of time to make donations to "DODGE" your loved ones.

It's gonna be chilly for the Ithaca Chill Challenge Dippers on New Year's Day!  Donate and keep them safe and warm on the shore of Cayuga Lake!

...they're GEAT!

We can't believe that it's been almost a year since our last Chill Challenge!  We're making plans, lining up prizes...it's gonna be another great year!
