Heidi Sommer's Fundraising Page
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
I am determined to take the Omaha Polar Plunge this Saturday to help raise money for Special Olympics Nebraska! I need your help to reach my goal.
The Special Olympics is a non-profit organization that needs to raise over 1 million dollars annually to help those that have intellectual disabilities. The funds raised will go towards training these "special" athletes to compete in many of the 9 events planned throughout the state of Nebraska. To get an idea of the costs associated with these events Special Olympics spends over $25,000.00 a year to purchase medals to honor these much deserving athletes.
So, I am sending this message out to everyone to ask for your support. If you're able to make a donation....great - every little bit counts and is very much appreciated!! Or just come out and support all of us plungers for this great cause. You're not just supporting the Special Olympics, but humanity. Together, we can make change for all people in this world!!! I'm jumping in honor of my son who lives with some special abilities and amazes me each day with his smile, courage and charm.
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support 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!
UPDATE: Thank you so much for everyone that contributed to this great cause and for supporting me! It means so much to me and to the Special Olympics. Together we are making this world a better place, for that, I give you my biggest gratitude. God Bless!
