The Florida Professional Firefighters are this years sponsor of the Polar Plunge, benefitting Special Olympics of Florida (SOFL).  This fine organization provides an opportunity for young athletes to compete, build thier self esteem and polish thier life skills.  As this years sponsor we hope to rasie a record amont of dollars to continue and expand the program which operates in every community in Florida.

Although I'm not a known as a "winter swimmer" being born and raised in South Florida, I can't think of a better reason to take "The Plunge" than to benefit such a great group of people.

You probably know someone who participates in Special Olympics or their many year round programs and events, and have certainly heard of the organization which is now active worlwide.  

I hope you will take this opportunity to make a small (or large) donation, knowing that I'll be there on January 21st, plunging for you!
