Polar bear plunge 2012 REGISTRATION AND DONATIONS

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I'm trying to get a team going since last year I couldn't go (it was saturday - same day as my brother's confirmation).

We need 10 minimum and we have 6 who are game already (including me, darknight, bad64chevelle, etc).

Would anyone else be seriously interested? It's free obviously, we just have to raise money for the Special Olympics.

To join the team and participate in the event, click here (http://sonj.kintera.org/faf/search/searchTeamPart.asp?ievent=488354&lis=0&kntae488354=A9D58E0FD700493C8F6E1C72D3AD45C9&supId=0&team=4874115).

Nick we may be at 7, I am waiting for someone else to get back to me. Have you gotten anyone yet?

[LTb1ow]

Well jumping in frigid water is much better than running 9 miles... I am in.

This is my first recruit, Jon lol. We're at 8 now.

[redsoxsstink]

i would like to but idk if i can guarantee my position almost a year in advanced lol

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

That would be all the more reason that you should be able to guarantee it, you have a year warning haha

[Tru2Chevy]

Count me in pending anything catastrophic happening around this time next year.

Which one are you planning on doing?

- Justin

[LS1ow]

i have enuff insulation on my body.

count me in.

[bad64chevelle]

The one in Seaside.

[Tru2Chevy]

The one in Seaside.

Ok, figured as much. Thanks.

- Justin

[bad64chevelle]

Sticky now. Mods please try to add names to the list I will create in the original post so we can keep track. Lets get some great #'s for 2012 for a great cause!

[Tru2Chevy]

Nick, have you created the team yet? If not, we should come up with a good name....

- Justin

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I have not, as last I checked we couldn't register.

[Tru2Chevy]

You can now, a friend of mine created a team yesterday.

- Justin

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Yeah I checked. Open to ideas for team name

[68bird]

I've wanted to do a polarbear plunge for a few years now. If I'm still in state by 2012 I'd seriously be interested.

Just joined....updated the link to the team page so it works now.

Here's the link to my personal page: http://sonj.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=488354&lis=0&kntae488354=A9D58E0FD700493C8F6E1C72D3AD45C9&supId=339451237

[Tru2Chevy]

TTT....still looking for more people to join the team!

- Justin

[Tru2Chevy]

Looks like we will have a celebrity on our team :)

Joe "Tiny" Vinch from Bear Swamp Recovery (http://www.facebook.com/BearSwampRecovery) is signing up later today.

- Justin

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Excellent! I'm still trying to drum up interest and donations! You guys have to make sure you hit $100 minimum in addition to recruiting so we reach the team minimum.

[PolarBear]

Stalker has convinced me to do this since I am some-what obligated :(

I am going to see if I can get interest in donations from where I work.

[Tru2Chevy]

Nick, I know that we need $100 per person, but do we absolutely have to have 13 people on the team as well?

- Justin

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

10 people is the 'bear' minimum. 13 was the goal Martin put.

[PolarBear]

I am now joined to the team. And I donated more than I thought :shrug: I also asked if they can send out a corporate email for the charity. If they do it is a potential 10,000 people that can donate, I will try to get them to donate directly to our team.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I am now joined to the team. And I donated more than I thought :shrug:

More tax deduction! The $25 is necessary for all people who sign up. So when you typed $100 it went on top of that.

[PolarBear]

Yeah, after I did it I realized what they were doing. I never donate to anything, so I am probably due anyway

You are 100% obligated LOL.

[PolarBear]

You are 100% obligated LOL.

I dont really like the Ocean,








or sand, or the sun :rofl:

[BonzoHansen]

I dont really like anything except expensive carbon fiber

Fixed.

AND for the record, I ALSO like Stainless Steel, aluminum and titanium

[WildBillyT]

Fixed.




How do I donate to this?

He also likes steak. Also fitting for a bear.

[PolarBear]

I posted over at NastyZ28.com (http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2509141#post2509141) too and on my Facebook status.

Still waiting on a reply from work though. I heard they may do matching contributions

[PolarBear]

That is true, completely uncooked works well for me :drool:

[Tru2Chevy]

At least you don't have to worry about it being too hot! Should feel mighty nice for you.

- Justin

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Bump! We need more people!

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

This is a reminder not only for new guys to sign up, but also for the existing team members to make sure they raise $100 by the plunge date. So far only Polar Bear and I have done that.

[BonzoHansen]

Get in there and donate!

[Tru2Chevy]

Just under two weeks away! We still have a few team members that haven't quite reached their minimum donation of $100 so please help out if you can.

- Justin

[PolarBear]

What time is everyone planning to be there?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

10-1030

[Tru2Chevy]

We need to coordinate with Martin - he's the captain and I think he has to check in for us (based on the email I just got about it from them). I will probably be down there early. One of my friends on another team is planning on going down very early with an RV to get good parking.

- Justin

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I've been talking with Martin. He plans on going early to tailgate for a bit. Time TBD

[PolarBear]

I was planning on getting there around 10ish

[Tru2Chevy]

Tim and I are planning on getting there a little before 10.

- Justin

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Jeremy and I are aiming to get there at 10. Martin is aiming for a little after 10.

[BonzoHansen]

Good job to all the people that helped this great cause yesterday!

[Tru2Chevy]

Thanks, it certainly was one hell of an experience. Nothing like stripping down to your swim trunks and preparing to jump into the ocean while it's snowing!

One picture I took here: http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?t=59102

Add yours too the thread if you got pics!

- Justin

[PolarBear]

It wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be. I would do again next year, also have a few other people that may want to do it.

Next time we need an NJFBOA banner though. :lol:

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Definitely doing it again next year, and I have a few more people willing to join us as well.

I second the club flag idea. We do need a few spectators next year to watch our bags though.

[Tru2Chevy]

Yes, a banner and some non-plunging members to watch and keep our stuff together (and take pictures) would be great, as well as some slightly better pre-plunge day organization. Overall it was a great time though, and as I said before, I'm definitely planning on making this an annual event.

- Justin

[PolarBear]

Got an email that Registration for next year is open now. I think we should start a dedicated "NJFBOA" team this time

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

That was the goal last time. I'll be team captain this time and plan on registering next week. I'll make a sticky when I do.
