2025 Pool Plunge for the Derek Record Endowment

On New Year's Day, January 1, 2025, at 10:15 am, I will execute a perfect Wolverine Leap into the pool.  I will stream the Pool Plunge live on the Endowment's Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/DerekRevordEndowment. Make sure you "Like" the page to receive a notification when I go live.

For the 2024 Pool Plunge, it was the Bowser Bounce!!  For the 2023 Pool Plunge, I turned into the Human Hotdog.  (previous Pool Plunges were me in a Speedo, and no one needs to see that anymore...)

See our Facebook Page for pictures and videos of previous jumps - https://www.facebook.com/DerekRevordEndowment.

My freezing and embarrassment are your entertainment.  "Like" and follow the Derek Revord Endowment's Facebook Page to receive a notification when Aaron goes live for the jump on January 1.  

Please donate at least $45 as Derek would have turned 45 in January but any amount is greatly appreciated.

All money raised will go to the Derek Revord Endowment of the Coastal Community Foundation.  The Endowment grants money each year to the Special Olympics South Carolina serving the Lowcountry.  Learn more at https://aaronsilverman.com/philanthropy/dre/ or follow the Endowment on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/DerekRevordEndowment/.
