Calling my flist for support!
Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I have signed up to do something called The Polar Bear Plunge. It's a fundraiser supporting the Special Olympics and I basically need ask people to sponsor me so I am eligible to participate in jumping into a freezing lake! FUN!
Here is a better description of what it is (copy and pasted from the site):
You may have heard about it on the news, read about it online, or maybe even seen a video on YouTube, but what exactly is this "Plunge" that everyone's talking about?
The Polar Bear Plunge - presented by Minnesota law enforcement as part of the year-round Law Enforcement Torch Run® events to benefit Special Olympics - is a unique opportunity for individuals, organizations and businesses to support Special Olympics athletes by jumping into frigid Minnesota waters. It consists of 16 different events that take place across Minnesota during the coldest months of the year. From January through March, our Plunge crew will be traveling around the state to 16 different communities with one goal in mind: raise funds for Special Olympics Minnesota!
The concept is simple: Participants raise a minimum of $75 and take a dip into one of Minnesota's frozen lakes. But the Plunges are so much more than that. They're the kind of fun and exciting events that you really have to experience to understand.
I have done a lot of volunteering for the Special Olympics over the years and I also have a cousin whom I adore, named Emily, with down syndrome. This is a big and exciting thing that I really want to participate in. The money goes to a wonderful cause, so any amount of money (any at all) would be greatly appreciated.
Plus, I am give prizes to those of you willing to donate!
FAN ART! (all of which will be made with your input of what you would like)
