Hi, and welcome to my Polar Plunge fundraising page! This will be my 13th year participating in the Polar Plunge MN event to help raise money for Special Olympics. Last year my team - the 'Snowbusters' (see photo) - participated in the Virtual plunge, but we had a ball 'plunging' in the snow instead of a lake. Either way, my participation is still for the same reason - supporting all the deserving athletes who participate in Special Olympics events every year. It is a big deal for them, and I want to help in keeping their hopes alive. My 2024 team ('PLUNGIN' PJs') and I would like to extend an invitation to you to help support us in this worthwhile cause by making a donation of any amount, if possible - either online on my plunge page or by cash / check. Although I've set an individual goal and our team has a specific combined goal, our hopes are to reach and go beyond our goals to raise as much money as possible before mid-April. Thank you so much for any support you can give! Merrilee
