Sliders, who gather pledges from sponsors in the weeks leading up to the event, dress up in their zaniest costumes and take the plunge into a pool full of gelatin.
In addition to the Ultimate Gelatin Slide, participants can enter the Gelatin Eating Contest and Gelatin Balloon Toss. Last year’s event raised more than $24,000 to support the Music Therapy Program at CHOP.
