On Sunday, 200 enthusiastic beach-lovers are expected to leap into Boston Harbor at East Boston’s Constitution Beach to raise funds to support free events and programs on the region’s public beaches from Nahant to Nantasket at Save the Harbor/Save the Bay’s 14th Annual JetBlue Shamrock Splash.

Participants compete for round-trip flights from JetBlue for the biggest fundraiser and best costume. The funds raised will support Save the Harbor’s Better Beaches Program partnership with the Department of Conservation & Recreation. Last year, the Better Beaches Program awarded more than $300,000 in grants to 95 organizations to support free beach festivals, concerts, sailing and kayaking instruction, and youth programs in Lynn, Nahant, Revere, Winthrop, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Quincy and Hull!

The forecast for Sunday calls for some morning rain ending before the event, and the water will be a refreshing 40 degrees: perfect weather for some fun in the water!
