PORTLAND, Maine — Dozens of people dove into the ocean at East End Beach in Portland on Tuesday morning to raise money for a good cause.
The Saint Patrick’s Day Plunge raises money for the Children’s Burn Foundation.
Following the dip into the chilly water, participating plungers headed to Ri Ra for a free breakfast buffet and a charity auction.

They will offer free rides from 10 a.m. Tuesday to 2 a.m. Wednesday for those who are out drinking in the greater Portland area.
The number to call for a ride is 332-RIDE.
