Polar Plunge!

Fergus Falls Frozen Assets!

I'm a huge supporter of Special Olympics, and have been involved in coaching athletes for the past 9 years. It all started when my daughter's basketball coach was unable to make it to the Saturday practice. The other parents looked at me, thinking since I'm tall and obviously athletic, I must know a thing or two about basketball.

They were right.

I took over the helm as basketball coach that week, which led to helping start and coach our softball, flag football, and floor hockey teams.

I also help plan and organize our SO Fun Run fundraiser 5K each May.

Seven years ago I signed up for my first Polar Plunge, forming the Fergus Falls Frozen Assets team, and have been hooked ever since. I have a fairly effective fundraising angle: people who donate $100 or more to me receive a Viking Cafe omelet, delivered by me in a chicken costume. I usually livestream these deliveries, which makes for a lot of fun.

In 2017 I led all Alexandria plunge fundraisers by raising over $4000. For both 2018 and 2019 my total was over $6000, and again leading all fundraisers in the Alexandria Plunge.

In 2020 and beyond I've plunged with the Fergus Falls Frozen Assets in the Ottertail Lake Plunge! Each year my Viking Cafe omelet incentive has helped me reach $6000+ in pledges.
