Swim in sea on Christmas, support Mattapoisett nonprofit

MATTAPOISETT — Helping Hands and Hooves will host the 20th annual Christmas Day Swim at 11 a.m. at Mattapoisett Town Beach.

“Please join us for a fun family tradition that helps those in need,” a press release said.

Each swimmer is asked to donate $15 (payable on the day of the swim). The first 75 swimmers will receive a festive long-sleeved shirt, and 100% of the proceeds will benefit Helping Hands and Hooves, a 501c(3) nonprofit based in Mattapoisett that is dedicated to providing therapeutic horseback riding lessons for adults with disabilities.
