Polar Bear Plunge
On January 31st, I will be doing a Polar Bear Plunge as a fundraiser for Special Olympics. I will be jumping into White Bear Lake along with a bunch of friends from the “Hip Chicks” meetup group. We almost have the largest team, for which we would win an award. Costumes are encouraged, and we have decided to wear prom/bridesmaid dresses with big hair and bright blue eyeshadow. My hair is too short to make “big” but I will definitely be doing the eyeshadow.
I made a goal for myself for $200. Some family, a Plurk friend, and a Twitter friend made this possible! I actually made $205! Everyone thinks I am crazy, Husband thinks I will get sick, so instead of donating, we will save the money for co-pays for the doctor visits. LOL It is a bit crazy, but it is a once in a lifetime experience and besides, it's for charity. If anyone else would like to donate some money to the cause, my personal Special Olympics website is here. I of course will have someone taking photos and making a video of our group making the jump, and will upload it to YouTube so all can see the craziness!
We are having a fundraiser as well. For every margarita sold between 7:00 and 9:00, the bar will donate $3.00 to this cause. Everyone is welcome, and we are trying to fill up the bar as jammed packed as possible to earn some serious cash.
It will be held on Wednesday Jan 21st at Bar Abilene. The address is 1300 Lagoon Ave in Minneapolis. The phone number there is 612-825-2525.
The plunge is on Saturday January 31st, from 12-3:00 near the White Bear Lake VFW, 4496 Lake Ave. S. It is just off of Hwy 61.
We hope you can make it!

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 04/08/2011 - 03:13.Hi! SO funny b/c I follow you on Twitter (I'm JuberD), and when I just googled "Polar Bear Plunge White Bear Lake", your blog popped up. My husband and I and some friends are jumping as Team Piehl. I think we'll be doing a Hawaiian theme for costumes, but it will be a last minute scramble.
Also funny and coincidental is that when I checked out the WBL site last night, I was reading through the list of team names. The one I laughed at and read aloud to my husband was The Promsicles. Ha! Sounds like that may be you!
Anyway - it's our first jump. Have you done it? Is there a warming tent or hot tub for after? Should we bring blankets to dry off or is a towel sufficient? Is it a *ahem* drinking event?
Have fun! Maybe we'll see each other!
Julie
