EAST HAMPTON -- Dozen of people went swimming on a chilly Saturday.

It was all part of the Seventh Annual East Hampton Turkey Plunge at Lake Pocotopaug.

The plunge is one of the biggest fundraisers for the East Hampton Food and Fuel Bank.

FOX 61's Tony Terzi even took the plunge, diving into the chilly water in his suit.

No word on how much the plunge raised this year, but last year, it took in more than $36,000

Saturday's event will not only benefit the food bank, but will also help people heat their homes and buy turkey dinners for the holiday season.
