Our personal message:

DO YOU HAVE "RECESSION DEPRESSION"?

Does the bad economy have you feeling down?

DONATE to SPECIAL OLYMPICS!

With my patented two part solution, I can guarantee to turn your economic sadness into pure happiness!

  1. When you realize how your donation will be used and how many smiles it will create, you will feel happiness 
  2. If that doesn't do the trick, think of how miserably cold I will be on Feb. 7th and you will definitely feel happiness...either way, you're happy

This will be my fifth year plunging and the cause grows more worthwhile every year. The athletes on this team are an inspiration and some of the best friends a guy could ask for. I know times are tough, but anything you could donate would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate to me, so please donate now! Many thanks for your support.  With your help last year, I was able to donate $6,100 and the event raised over $90,000 total! Thanks so much!

PS- For the right price, ad space is available like last year...everything is negotiable!
