One of my predictions for 2010 was that I’d finally do the Polar Bear Plunge, and thanks to an email link from “Anon,” one of the regular commenters here, it appears I’m going to take the plunge sooner rather than later.
I’ve decided to take the Polar Plunge to support Special Olympics Wisconsin on Saturday, March 6, 2010 at Bradford Beach in Milwaukee! As a part of the Polar Plunge, I’ll be collecting pledges before jumping or running into Wisconsin’s cold waters to raise funds for Special Olympics, and so I’d like to ask those of you out there who support the mission of the Special Olympics to consider helping me reach my pledge goal of $150.00. Money raised from the Polar Plunge will support local Special Olympics programs in Wisconsin, allowing nearly 10,000 athletes with cognitive disabilities to experience the joys of participation in sports and competition with their peers.
If you’re interesting in making a pledge, check out my Plunge Web site to submit a credit card pledge online.
I hope you’ll consider making a pledge, because it’s certainly for a good cause.
As you know…I think it’s awesome that you are doing this. If you are going to jump in the freezing cold lake…you might as well do it for a great cause…which Special Olympics is. “Freezing for a reason”… 🙂
One thing though…how can people who want to donate off line get the donations to you?
I’m sure you could mail me a pledge, if you were so inclined. Email me if you want the address.
