Advice for plungers: “You’re not asking for yourself you are asking for the benefit of others. Ask the boss, they’re the ones with the most money.”
 


Paul Karrlsson-Willis Coach Willis believes the Special Olympics program changes lives. His advice for plungers: Go under all the way for the thrill of the icy waters!
 


Lyle Richardson Lyle’s advice to fellow fundraisers- “Use all the relationships you have.  People will donate because it is for an awesome cause.”
 


Donna Sargent My advice for rookie plungers is, “keep a towel close by and hope for no wind.”  Come and see if my team, The Pirate Plungers, win best costume again.
 


Eugenia Gibbons Eugenia is plunging again with  the Ice Breakers for SOMA and the Blue Water Flyers Swim Team from Dorchester. Her advice is, "cover your toes!"
 


Allison Cheney For her first plunge into the wintry waters of Nantasket Beach, Allison hopes to raise $1000. "People will surprise you with their generosity", she says.
 


 Christine Flaherty      I plunge and raise money to support my cousin Patrick and the r"EMARC"ables Team. Blast emails helped me spread the word fast.
 


Thank you
to all of our dedicated plungers, chickens, donors, volunteers and athletes!  

The 2008 Passion Plunge was a splashing success!  Our supporters braved a 13 degree wind chill and 37 degree water all to benefit Special Olympics Massachusetts athletes.  We are busy tallying up our results and will post our top fundraisers soon. Also, send your pictures to PassionPlunge@SpecialOlympicsMA.org and we’ll post them on our site.

See you in 2009! Meanwhile, keep in touch with how the Special Olympics Massachusetts program is growing by logging in to www.specialolympicsma.org.
