Preparing for the Plunge

It's time once again for the Polar Bear Plunge. It's an opportunity to 'freeze your fur off' for a good cause. The event will be at 2:00p.m., Saturday, February 23, at the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds. It's a fundraiser for the Public Schools Foundation of Tippecanoe County.


Community members and representatives from different schools agree to raise money for the PSF, then choose whether they will take the plunge. That's a new option this year. People can opt not to get wet and take their place on an ice block.
I was one of the Blues Brothers last year. My partner, Elwood, was Kelly Coleman from the Lafayette School Corporation. I'm still working on this year's costume. I have a week, right?
I am also still looking for donations. If you'd like to contribute to the cause, just drop me an email.

This is Sports Team 18's Kelly Crull, who did the Polar Bear Plunge last year. She was a real trooper. She went into the ice cold water as Minnie Mouse in high heels. This year our morning Meterologist Kelly Greene will be joining me at the plunge. Stay tuned to see if she stays dry or makes a splash!
This year's sponsors include Texas Roadhouse. The restaurant will be giving out rolls and peanuts at the event.
Domino's is another sponsor. Stop by Domino's Pizza on Creasy Lane and purchase a "Large 1-Topping Pizza Gift Card", a $12 value, for only $5 with all proceeds going to the event.
