Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. Most of you know that Volunteering for Special Olympics has been a passion of mine for a number of years. By sponsoring me, you will make dreams happen for a bunch of people who work their butts off everyday-to do the things you and I take for granted. Not only does Special Olympics give them a safe environment to compete, it gives them a forum to meet friends, and have a great time. It's expensive to have children, even more so for a Person with special needs. These parents devote a HUGE amount of time and money to put smiles on the athletes faces-and you can help them.
Special Olympics functions solely on donations. We have some partner companies that help us sponsor events, but for the most part-we count on people like you who care enough to donate. ANYTHING HELPS! Don't feel like you need to donate hundreds of dollars (but that would be awesome)-do what you can.
This year, I am stepping up a notch. For 2010 I have volunteered to be a "Super Plunger"-which means I will jump once an hour, for the 12 hours leading up to the main event. Yup, that means I hit the water 13 times in 12 hours. But I'll only be that crazy if we reach my goal of $10,000. Considering we cut through 6 inches of ice to jump last year-that's saying something. Last year, through your generous donations I raised $6,400 of the $80,000 we raised at the event.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
