John Hancock Birthday Plunge
Each year the Quincy Beaches and Coastal Commission celebrates John Hancock’s Birthday by inviting local residents to take part in a polar plunge. “Plungers” gather pledges from their friends and family to support Interfaith Social Services. This is a fun event which brings out hundreds of hearty souls who brave the cold for a good cause.
