LadyDoc 0 #1 January 9, 2010 Hey everyone!! I am currently fundraising for the local Special Olympians. Next Saturday, January 16th, myself and a few hundred others will be participating in the Polar Plunge! This year, it will be held at Aquatica by Seaworld in Florida! I'm currently putting together a team to fundraise together as well as (obviously) trying to raise some money myself. If anyone is interested in possibly putting a SKYDIVERS TEAM together, please reply to the post or visit www.FirstGiving.com/MeganWatsonDOM[url]!! I'd love to see a great turnout!! If you don't want to actually dip into the chilled pool, you can become a Virtual Plunger. I hope to hear from you all soon!! Megan ABOUT THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS FLORIDA POLAR PLUNGE: What is the Polar Plunge? It's a Plunge into cold water to raise money for Special Olympics Florida. Aquatica is usually warm & tropical but for one day only they're icing down their wave pool so you can experience the “thrill of the chill” while supporting a great cause. How can you participate? Become a Plunger, Virtual Plunger, or Sponsor a Plunger Who can Plunge? Those who raise at least $50 may take the Plunge. Plungers receive an official commemorative Plunge gear & bragging rights. The incentives & prizes increase based on the amount of money you raise. Minimum age to Plunge is 15. Where is the Plunge taking place? Aquatica - SeaWorld's Waterpark (Orlando) When is the Plunge? January 16, 2010. Registration begins at 9:30AM. Opening Ceremony and Plunge at 11:00AM. Why are we Plunging? You'll be freezin' for reason! All proceeds support Special Olympics Florida. Registration? Register on this site! Pre-registration closes Thursday, January 14 at 5:00PM. You can also register on-site, the day of the Plunge, beginning at 9:30 AM. How to join a Plunge team? You can join a team when you register or at anytime through your Plunge fundraising page. Teams consist of a minimum of 10 Plungers who have each met the $50 goal. Plungers may only be part of ONE team. I'm unable to attend the Polar Plunge, but would like to raise funds for the event through a personal fundraising page. No problem! You can register as a Virtual Plunger.
