I'm Plunging Again!!!!!

And I am asking you for your support.  I jump into the frigid Atlantic ocean each year as a reminder of how important Special Olympics Delaware is to the more than 3,500 athletes that have the opportunity to compete and participate in  the athletic programs each year...all as a result of generous donations from supporters like you. I will be participating in the Special Olympics Polar Bear Plunge once again on Sunday, February 6, 2011.  I am very honored to participate on behalf of my cousin Jacob Zonick as well as all of the Special Olympics athletes. Having a cousin that is a Special Olympian has provided me with great volunteer and fan opportunities with the organization. In addition, as the SODE President-Elect of the Board of Directors I have gained great insight to how important and vital donations are to keeping the program running.

My cousin Jacob is 14 years old and Special Olympics is by far the highlight of his life. The smile on his face after he competes, whether he wins or not,  is priceless! I have learned determination, bravery and enthusiasm from Jacob and other incredible athletes in my participation on the sidelines. Please help this program continue for all of them.

I know this is a big ask in these these tough economic times but I do ask that you consider making a donation, no matter how small to this great organization. Every dollar helps! Every dollar keeps the programs running and the athletes participating. Be a Fan, a supporter, a volunteer, spread the word to end the "R word" and encourage inclusiveness of  those with disabilities. 

Keep the program vital by your generous support and remember the Special Olympics athlete oath "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me brave in the attempt."
