I have a bear-y important request for you.

Hi John!
My name is Marti, short for Ursus maritimus. It’s bear-y nice to meet you!

Here’s a little about me: I live in the Arctic tundra. My favorite hobby is
sliding across the snow on my belly (you have to try it) and I LOVE coming
together with my friends in “celebrations” (that’s what we call a group of us
polar bears).
You might be wondering why a polar bear is emailing you. Well, friend, I have a
special invitation to share. I’m throwing a HUGE Covid-safe, virtual
celebration, and you’re invited!
Will you join me for the annual Polar Bear Plunge, sponsored by the Chesapeake
Climate Action Network? This year, it will be a “BRRRR-tual Plunge.” Help us
raise money and have fun on February 13, 2021, wherever you live.

There are many ways to join the celebration. You can dump an ice cold water
bucket on yourself, jump into a cold bath or kiddie pool, or even run into a
nearby pond or creek. All that matters is that you and bear-y cold water come
into contact.

Everyone in town will be there (well, brrrr-tually), including THE Bill McKibben
-- even us bears are huge fans. The best part, this is also a fundraiser!
Proceeds will benefit my good friends at the Chesapeake Climate Action Network,
who are hard at work to save my home and yours.
Together, our plunge will make a big difference in 2021. I'll be talking to the
people in that big igloo-like dome building (I think you humans call it Capitol
Hill) with CCAN. We’ll make it clear that not only bears like me are in danger,
but also all my friends and YOU.

But for now, let’s come together, raise some money, and have a good time. I know
it seems like furever away, but February 13th will be here before we know it.
I hope you’ll RSVP today to join the 16th annual CCAN Polar Bear Plunge on
February 13. My goal is to have 100 plungers signed up by the end of this month!

It’s a paw-some way to raise money and have fun from home while fighting climate
change.
See you there,
Marti
Your Friendly Polar Bear
Liaison to CCAN
