With the Boston winter slowly, but surely (we hope) turning
to spring, the 3rd Annual Harpoon Helps Cupid Splash to benefit Save
the Harbor / Save the Bay on March 23 is right around the corner. And while the
temperature might be warming, the water remains icy. That makes this event your
chance to demonstrate your bravery, while helping your beach.

“We’re really
lucky to have great beaches, and great partners like Harpoon Brewery and JetBlue Airways , who share our commitment to our community and our love for these beaches”
said Bruce Berman, Save the Harbor’s Director of Strategy, Communications, and
Programs.
The 2012 event raised $30,000 for our beaches, and 2013 is
shaping up to be Boston’s best beach bash yet. With Harpoon providing fresh
beer and Tasty Burger cooking, well,
tasty burgers, there promises to be plenty reasons to eat, drink, and be
merry…and then eat, again.
The event is a unique opportunity for Boston-area residents
to show their love for life, beer, and their beach, with some help from
Harpoon. The Boston-based brewery, which just opened a Beer Hall on Boston’s
waterfront, is returning as a sponsor, providing participants with beer and
other great prizes.
"We are excited to support our friends at Save the Harbor
Save the Bay. We have been brewing on Boston’s waterfront for more than
25 years, and we believe in their mission,” said Charlie Storey, Senior VP of
the Harpoon Brewery, whose philanthropic program, Harpoon Helps, is
co-producing this year's Splash in South Boston. "The Cupid Splash is a
great way to spend the first Saturday of spring; a quick dip into the icy water
to get the blood flowing, followed by a cold Harpoon with your friends - all to
support a great cause!"
This year there will be four ways to win a round trip ticket from JetBlue Airways. The person who raises the most money and the person with the best Cupid costume will both win a round-trip ticket on JetBlue Airways to any non-stop destination from Logan Airport. Additionally, all registered participants who raise $100 or more will be entered into a raffle and any pledger or donor will also have a chance to win a round trip ticket from JetBlue Airways as well as great gifts from Harpoon.
For those who want to attend the party, but do not want to
splash, you are still invited. You just have to register before the event and
pay the regular registration fee.
