I am Bryan Evans, a Special Olympics athlete from Greensboro .  I’m jumping into pool of freezing water at Wet 'n Wild Emerald Point Water Park on Saturday, February 23rd, 2008 as part of the 8th Annual Polar Plunge for Special Olympics hosted by the Guilford County Sheriff's Department.  Hundreds of people will be there "freezin for a reason" to raise money for Special Olympics North Carolina.  

This will be my third plunge and my goal this year is to raise $1,000.  

I compete in Track and Field, Bowling and Bocce.  All the money that I raise will be used to support the athletes by helping with the costs of the competitions.  No athlete ever pays a fee to participate, so your support is very important to me. 

I would like to challenge you to join me either by jumping yourself or pledging me! 

If taking the plunge is too daring for you, I would like to ask for your support in helping me reach my goal of $1000!  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.

To take the plunge, come to Wet and Wild Emerald Point on February 23rd^.   Registration begins at 11 a.m.  The entry fee is only $50.  To collect your entry fee and help Special Olympics athletes throughout the state, I encourage you to create your own personal Web page like mine by clicking on “I want a page like this one” on this page, and you can get started. 

If you need more information on the Guilford County Polar Plunge, call Deputy Brian Henderson at (336) 707-3262 or (336) 641-6011.

Thank you for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!  Wish me luck!   

 Sincerely,

 Bryan Evans
