Join my team & plunge or simply donate to my efforts!

Help me and my team to reach our goal of raising $25,000+ for the athletes of Special Olympics Illinois!

Thank you for visiting my teams "Plunge" fundraising page. They say anyone with a little guts and a warm heart can take the "Plunge" and I am proud to say that the people that join my team are those kind of people. 100% of your donations will help provide athletes with intellectual disabilities the chance to participate in sports training and competition.

You can join my official team!  Register for the SUPER Plunge event and select the Chicago Blackhawks Plunge Team at the end of the registration process. You must raise a minimum of $75.00 to be eligible to join my plunge team. When you join my team you will receive a commemorative hooded sweatshirt.  We will be plunging at 8:00 AM on Saturday, February 25 at Northwestern University's North Beach in Evanston. Make sure to be there at least 1 hour before plunge time.

You can also have a chance to win more incentive items based on the amount you raise!
