More than 150 Synchrony (NYSE: SYF) employees once again took the plunge for a powerful cause, braving cold waters at The Point at Norwalk Cove in celebration of the company's 11th annual "Doubles Dive." What began as a small group of Synchrony employees taking part in a polar plunge has grown into a global movement, uniting employees in support of Connecticut-based nonprofit SeriousFun Children's Network, which provides free, life-changing camp experiences for children living with serious illnesses and medical conditions from more than 50 countries.

Marking more than a decade of impact, this year's event reflects Synchrony's enduring commitment to giving back to the communities where its employees live and work. To amplify that impact, Synchrony will match donations 2:1 - turning every contribution into even greater support for children and families in need.

"Synchrony has been an incredible partner to SeriousFun Children's Network--year after year, the Doubles Dive brings employees together in a powerful show of community and compassion," said Blake Maher, CEO of SeriousFun Children's Network. "Their continued support helps ensure children living with serious illnesses experience a fortifying sense of belonging, independence, and resilience at camp."

The spirit of the "Doubles Dive" extends far beyond Connecticut. This year, more than 1,000 Synchrony employees across the globe will participate by taking part in local plunges or supporting the cause virtually. Since its inception in 2016, the Doubles Dive has raised more than $1.4 million for nonprofit organizations, including SeriousFun Children's Network.
