Get ready!
Hello everyone! The Plunge season is here. We had our first 3 Plunges last Saturday in Owatonna, White Bear Lake, and Willmar Spicer. In total, the 3 Plunges raised $462,000. Awesome work everyone! Rick Spielman from the Vikings, Dave St. Peter from the Twins, Chris Wright from the Timberwolves, Matt Majka from the Wild and Mike Dimond from FOX Sports North all took the Plunge at White Bear Lake! Also, mascots such as Crunch, Viktor the Viking, Nordy, and T.C. Bear were at White Bear Lake and several of them Plunged. There was a lot of enthusiasm and excitement.
This weekend, Saturday, Febuary 7th , there will be 3 more Plunges in Maple Grove, St. Peter, and our new location, Sauk Centre. Our Plunge season is just starting out, so it's not too late to Plunge! You can either register at Plungemn.org or the day of at the Plunge site.
Have you been on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook and noticed people in freezers? You can do that too! Take a picture of yourself in a freezer and use the hashtags #Freezerface and #PlungeMN to support the Special Olympics Polar Plunge!
I am looking forward to Plunging on March 7th in Minneapolis. If you're too chicken to Plunge with me, then send a pledge my way. To pledge, go to plungemn.org. It goes to a great cause! Hope to see you at a future Plunge!
