The crowd will form at Riverside Beach at Riverside Boulevard at 12:30 p.m. People will start trekking into the water about an hour later. In 2009, more than 8,000 participants and spectators took part in the annual fundraising event, which to date has raised over $1.6 million dollars for Make a Wish Foundation, an organization that grants wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions.
