Melissa Holmes (from Channel 2) & Jay Skurski (from The Buffalo News) here: 
We posted a photo of opening our pool WAY too early- in the snow in early April- in Buffalo, and we were challenged by some friends (thanks Mike, Joe, Jim & Kassie!) to cannonball into it — for charity. So, let’s have some fun with it and raise some money in the process! We’ll start things off with $100. Donate what you can, and we’ll buy food to feed the heroes working at hospitals in Buffalo and Western New York during the Coronavirus pandemic. If we raise more than $1,000 — we’ll have Elliott jump in with us, too! No, the pool hasn’t been heated, and yes, there will be video posted.
