2011 Detroit Polar Plunge

The 2011 Detroit Polar Plunge for Special Olympics is fast approaching!!! It will held on Saturday, February 19th at the Milliken State Park which is just east of the Ren Cen on Atwater (see video of site here). We hope that you will consider joining us and others for an invigorating dip in the balmy waters of the Detroit River. This years’ Plunge will be the largest ever in the state of Michigan with 500+ plungers and over 1,000 people in attendance. As always, it will be a fun and festive event including a post-plunge luncheon with awards and recognition. Special Olympics expects to raise over $175,000 this year to help people with intellectual disabilities participate in sporting events and activities that have a huge positive impact on their lives.

Stuart Elsea says, "The last 4 years running, Real Estate One has had the #1 Plunge team in the entire state. Last year we had 25 plungers who raised over $27,000!!! We are looking for even more plungers this year so we can stay #1 again. It may sound crazy to jump into 35 degree water in February, but actually it’s a lot of fun and really very safe. I have done it 3 times myself and I’m looking forward to a 4th time this year. It should be on everyone’s “Bucket List”!!!"

There is still time to sign up to jump!
