Helping Hands and Hooves will host the 12th annual Christmas Day Swim at 11 a.m. at the Mattapoisett Town Beach.

Each swimmer is asked to give a donation of $15 (payable on the day of the swim) and the first 75 swimmers will receive a festive long sleeve t-shirt.

All of the proceeds will go to Helping Hands and Hooves - a non-profit (based in Mattapoisett) that is dedicated to providing therapeutic horseback riding lessons for adults with disabilities.
