Our personal message:

The big weekend is quickly approaching.  If you would like to watch us freeze as you watch from the balmy shore of Lake Manawa, the plunge will begin at Noon on Saturday, March 8th.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for Special Olympics of Iowa!

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!

This is our first year plunging so we are pretty excited and well ShaRee is pretty nervous.  Not sure if we ever thought we would actually jump in Lake Manawa. 

As some of you may know Iowa Law Enforcement Agencies are the largest fundraising organization for the Special Olympics and support over 13,000 athletes, a giant leap from 100 athletes in 1968.  I have decided to take a more active role in this charity by becoming the liaison for the Iowa DCI and State Police. 

It is a great cause and any donation would be awesome.  100% of your donation will go directly to the Iowa Special Olympics.   This is important because it is completely put on by donations. 

Feel free to come out and watch us on March 8th.

THANKS - Donnie and ShaRee

We are so excited about your generous donations:
We started with a goal of $300 - you helped us meet it in one day!!!!
So Day 2 we set a lofty goal of $1,000 - unbelievably you helped us meet our 2nd goal on our second day!!! 
Words simply can not say enough.
