I've been slacking BIG TIME on this, but it's not too late to join The 7 Line Army team on Saturday March 3rd in Port Washington. This is the 14th annual "Freezin' For A Reason" Polar Plunge to benefit the Special Olympics. I took the dip in Long Beach on Super Bowl Sunday a few times, but this will be my first in Port Washington.
We were contacted by a member of The 7 Line Army who is helping organize the event, and I jumped at the chance to say yes. I didn't commit nearly as much time as I had hoped to recruit other members, or to raise money, but we still have enough time to get this going. Please join if you can.
This plunge is to raise money for the athletes of the Special Olympics New York. 68,547 athletes train and compete year-round in 22 Olympics-style sports. The athletes and their families or caregivers are never charged to participate, and it costs $400 to support training and competition for one athlete for one sports season.
I aimed high and set the goal at 100 members for our team. Right now it's at a whopping.... drum roll... 4.
If you can find it in your heart to join the plunge, I'd love to have you on the team. Sure, it's cold, but it's for a great cause, and it's somehow a really fun time even if you hate the cold.
Dippers get creative, and the day turns in to a really fun party. Costumes, themes, tailgating, the whole 9. Have fun with it.
If you can't commit to the plunge, but would still like to help, you can still donate to the cause.
Simply wear any garment with a T7L logo on it to the Willers Point Brewery. Show the bartender our logo, and you'll get the special price of $5 for a 12oz Coors Light or $5 for a 12oz Montauk Beer.
We're back! It's been a couple of years since we've head down to Philly with The 7 Line Army. This time we're rolling with just under 1,500 fans, and meeting up at the new and massively improved Stateside Live!
Come on out to celebrate The 7 Line Army's 200th outing! Whether you've been to 199, 50, or none, you're still invited. Our whole goal since day 1 has been to bring fans together from all walks of life. If you're reading this... that's YOU.
