This incredible fundraiser finds friends of SOMA “freezin’ for a reason” at Plunges in Cape Cod, Hull, Revere, and Worcester.P.

The first two - Revere and Falmouth - are only 3 weeks from this Saturday! I sure hope you have started your fundraising. <br /><br />There are a lot of exciting things going on around here as the preparations are being made. I went outside yesterday to try and set up the big tent but it didn't go so well. And since I figure you all will want to be warm I guess I'll leave it to the professionals to actually put it up on event day. <br /><br />Did you see my most recent Plunge commercial? It was so much fun to shoot. Is that really Vanilla Ice? If it wasn't they sure got me!

I'm so excited that I've decided to keep this blog leading up to the events. <br /><br />Has everyone started fundraising yet? I know the Plunge has always been in February but this year we have split up the 4 locations to 2 different days: 1/31 and 2/14. Anyone plunging in Falmouth or Revere on January 31st will have a little less time to do their pre-event fundraising than they usually do. <br /><br />If you need any help coming up with new ideas on how to fundraise, send me an email at <a href="mailto:pbear@specialolympicsma.org">pbear@specialolympicsma.org</a>. One easy way I give you now is to ask your potential donors to read my blog. I'll be updating it all the time and it will give them a better understanding of the Plunge and why it is so important to donate to you!<br /><br />Stay warm,<br />P.
