In 2017, a small group of React Presents staff plunged into the cold waters of Lake Michigan to raise money for initiatives important to the Chicago’s Bronzeville community, the neighborhood adjacent to Oakwood Beach, home to Mamby On The Beach music festival, which happens on June 23 + 24, 2018.

This year, the React staff invites brave music fans and activists alike to participate in the Mamby Plunge and raise money for this year’s charities: West Point Missionary Baptist Church and the KLEO Community Life Center. 

The Mamby Plunge will take place on Saturday, March 24th, 2018 at Oakwood Beach. 18+ Only. Valid government photo ID needed prior to the plunge.

All who raise $125 and participate in the Plunge, will receive the below rewards:

• One (1) 2-Day VIP Pass
• One (1) Official Mamby Plunge Towel
• One (1) Official Mamby Plunge T-Shirt
• One (1) Official Mamby Plunge Drawstring Bag

…and the person who raises the most money (by Joining The Team) will be rewarded with TWO (2) 2-DAY ARTIST PASSES which grants you Backstage access and Guest Area access with complimentary drinks all weekend long!
