Thank you for visiting the Area 13 Fundraising Page for Special Olympics Virginia's (SOVA) Polar Plunge ® Winter Festival 2010. Our local area has put a brave team together, the Area 13 Ice Sharks, to participate in this years plunge to raise awareness and funds for SOVA. The Polar Plunge® is SOVA’s largest fundraiser, attracting more than 10,000 people to an otherwise deserted beachfront in February. The Area 13 Ice Sharks, along with more than 3,200 other plunging superheroes (including athletes, families, and coaches), will experience heartwarming and bone chilling extremes as we take the plunge into the icy Atlantic Ocean in the height of winter!

Our goal is to raise at least $5000 this year, 75% of which will go directly to our local area. We would greatly appreciate your help. Donating in our name through this site is simple, fast and completely secure. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate, too.
