STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Synchrony (NYSE: SYF), a premier consumer financial services company, jumped into 2024 with its ninth annual "Doubles Dive" today. More than 120 dedicated employees, including Brian Doubles, President and CEO of Synchrony, dove into the chilly Long Island Sound on February 29^th, all in the name of charity.

More than 120 Synchrony employees take a polar plunge for charity at Compo Beach in Westport, Connecticut.

Despite the windy 34 degrees air temperature, the team's spirits soared as they plunged for a purpose. Since 2015, Synchrony employees companywide have participated in the event through diving, donating, or taking part in an Ice Bucket Challenge. The funds raised during the Connecticut event will go to the Connecticut-based nonprofit SeriousFun Children's Network, an organization devoted to creating summer camp experiences for children with serious illnesses and medical conditions in the U.S., India, and the Philippines.

Synchrony, celebrating 10 years since IPO this year, not only raised and matched more than $113,000 to the nonprofit this year, but has collectively raised more than $1 million for charities since 2016.
