Polar Plunge 2013!

On Saturday, February 23rd a dozen crazy PTOEC volunteers participated in the Special Olympics – Illinois 2013 Polar Plunge fundraising event!  They joined over 300 other plungers in raising $70,000 for Special Olympics.

Team PTOEC lead by Tom Biondo did a great job, earning over $4,800 – the second highest total of all 55 teams!  Coach Bill Howard raised $1,288 himself, the 4th highest individual total.  Way to go coach!

PTOEC member and Special Olympics Global Messenger Jennifer Harper pitched in by serving as a greeter for the Polar Plunge lunch and award ceremony that followed the event. 

Thanks to everyone who participated and provided their support!
