2018 Monk Dunk - FUNDRAISER!

Donation protected

Every year, on New Year's Day, the Wellesley Wrestling Team, a.k.a. "The Monks," ring in the new year with the MONK DUNK, a frigid dip in the icy waters of Morses Pond in Wellesley.

THIS YEAR, the Monk Dunk is a FUNDRAISER! 
The Wellesley Wrestling Team is raising money for the Bristol Lodge Mens & Womens Homeless Shelters & the Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen - located in and serving the community of Waltham, MA.


Over the years, the Monk Dunk has become both a symbol of our athletes' mental & physical toughness and a bonding experience for past, present, and future members of the Wellesley Wrestling Community.

Monks welcome other athletes from Wellesley High School and any other, like-minded individuals from the local community to join us at the Monk Dunk.  We meet at the end of the Morses Pond Access Road at 9:45am and we take the plunge at 10:00am.

The Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen, located at Immanuel United Methodist Church in Waltham, serves supper for 40-80 people every evening at 5:00 p.m. The soup kitchen is administered by staff of the Middlesex Human Services Agency of Waltham. About half of those served are residents of the Bristol Lodge Shelters, one for men and one for women.

A portion of the money raise through this Go Fund Me Campaign will provide a hot meal for guests at the Bristol Lodge Soup Kitchen . This February, the Wellesley Wrestling Team will prep and serve this meal  to the guests at the soup kitchen. 

The balance of the money raised will be donated to the Bristol Lodge's Mens & Womens shelters. 

Please join us in our support of the Bristol Lodge!
- Take the plunge into Morses Pond with us on New Years Day
- Come on down to Morses Pond at 10am to cheer us on!
- Support the team's Monk Dunk Campaign. Every dollar collected goes to those served by the Bristol Lodge in Waltham!

GO MONKS!
