Bairnsdale Football Netball Club’s promotion for this year’s DIY Big Freeze motor neurone disease fundraiser is heating up, and it’s shaping up to be a big day.
Last year’s DIY Big Freeze raised more than $100,000, with more than 20 sliders taking the plunge into the freezing water.
The event also took the gong of being the biggest country DIY Big Freeze in the country, in front of Geelong.
This year, organisers are hoping to match or exceed last year’s figures.
“We’re hoping to have around the same number of sliders we had last year, so around 20,” event organiser, Vicky Waddell, said.
“People can also donate to each individual slider, we did that last year and promoted some healthy competition between the sliders.”
The list of sliders to take this year’s plunge hasn’t been revealed yet, but will be as the big day gets closer.
