take the plunge!

Do you think you can withstand the cool temps of our rooftop pool club for charity? 
​
The first-ever April Fool's Day Polar Plunge is happening at Topside Pool Club on Thursday, April 1st, to raise funds for the St. Francis Neuro Institute. The top 5 members with the highest donations will get to jump in first with the #1 swimmer carrying the title, "First Swimmer of the Season" (plus bragging rights for edging out Michael Tollison and his two, consecutive wins). 

Donations to swimmers can be made by clicking the 'Donate' button below their photo, or through the Donation form on this page.

About the st. francis neuroSCIENCE institute

Did you know 1 in every 6 people of the world's population suffer from a neurological disorder? 

The St. Francis Foundation Neurosciences Programs and the Diane Collins Neuroscience Institute will bring patient services to the Upstate for the diagnosis, treatment and management of multiple neurological disorders, including Parkinson's Disease, ALS, Tourette's Syndrome, Dementia, and Epilepsy. Currently, the Upstate does not offer comprehensive neuroscience services and patients often must travel 2+ hours to seek specialized treatment.

The ultimate goal for the creation of a multidisciplinary care team to provide these services include: 

• Improving patient symptoms
• Slowing progression of disorders
• Reducing anxiety through education
• Creating accessibility to local care teams 
• Improving the overall well-being for patients and those who care for them 
• The inclusion of specialists and primary care providers for speech therapy, evaluations, oncology, palliative care, family counseling, clinical research and community outreach
