SPECIAL OLYMPICS ILLINOIS

2010 SUPER Plunge Evanston,  Illinois
Training buddies: Ruthie & Pat Rafter-Mike Mcdermott

Mal Rafter's Fundraising Page

Thank you for visiting my Polar Plunge fundraising page. They say anyone with a little guts and a warm heart can take the Plunge and I am one of those folks. This is my third year as a Super Plunger and I can't wait to take my first plunge this year! 

Check out the news clip ( on the left You Tube ) from Fox News, our 2009 Super Plunge!!!!  

 I’m collecting pledges from family, friends, co-workers and anyone else who wants to support the more than 22,000 athletes of Special Olympics Illinois! Your donations will help provide athletes with intellectual disabilities the chance to participate in year-round sports training and competition.

To reward your generosity, I’m going to join over 3,600 people statewide who will voluntarily jump into freezing cold water in the middle of winter as we take part in the Law Enforcement Torch Run Polar Plunges for Special Olympics Illinois.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to the LETR Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Illinois.

If you wish to donate by check  (payable to Special Olympics Illinois) send it to:

Attn: Mal Rafter

713 W. Sunset

Villa Park, Il 60181

Many thanks for your support – and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
