Final Countdown to the Polar Plunge!

Wednesday…  Thursday…  Friday…  Saturday!

Thanks to all of our sponsors so far!  Aunt Rosie & Denny, Grandpa George, and Anonymous.  Ahem.  I know who you are but since you chose to sign it “anonymous”, I’ll keep the secret.

If you look at their team page here, http://somo.org/speedkin, you see they each have raised $70 for a team total of $210.  Not too shabby for a trio of kids, right?

Ah, but it gets even better.  Their 4-H club has agreed to donate their “brag box” money in the kids’ names!  How cool is that?  They’ll bring a check the day of the plunge so it won’t show up until after the final tally.

And that’s still not all.  Steve’s employer, Titan Wheel, has written out a big ol’ check in the kids’ names, also to be presented the day of the plunge.  I know it’s just a monetary drop in the hat to such a huge company but I’m mightily impressed all the same that they’d take the time to do such a thing.

As of right now, the kids have raised over $1000 for the Special Olympics.  *proud mommy moment*

Of course, there’s still time to donate if you’re so inclined.  Maybe some stragglers will push that total even higher by Saturday morning!

Hint, hint, hint…
