Hi everyone on February 18, 2012, I have committed to grin and “bear” it for the athletes of Special Olympics Minnesota by participating in the Duluth Polar Bear Plunge!
This event serves as the biggest fundraiser for the athletes of Special Olympics.I know……..you’re probably getting cold just thinking about it! I got chills running down my spine just writing about this. Rest assure that the frigid cold that I’ll feel during the event will only be temporary; the positive impact we’ll have on the lives of over 7,000 Special Olympics Minnesota athletes with intellectual disabilities will last a lifetime! This is where I need your help. My fraternity Brothers from Kappa Psi and I need your support. We have organized a team of plunger and are looking for donations to help us reach our goals.
I have set a personal fundraising goal of $200, and I need your help to reach it! Please help me in my efforts to support the athletes of Special Olympics. No, I’m not asking you to take the Plunge (although I’d love you to join me!), but I AM asking if you’ll make a donation to Special Olympics Minnesota on behalf of me taking the “Big Plunge.” Please visit my personal plunger page at http://www.plungemn.org/plunger/soukphaengkhouane to make a contribution. In order to be eligible to jump into the icy cold waters of Lake Superior in my swimsuit and lab coat, I have to raise a minimum of $75. Any amount would be appreciated and it all goes to a wonderful cause. I want to thank you in advance for your support and ask that you think warm thoughts for me as February 18 approaches. I’ll do my best to make you proud by making the biggest splash possible during the frigid plunge!
Many thanks,
Souk
