For the third year, I’m taking a cold plunge to fight global warming. In 2 ½ weeks, on January 23rd, I'm going to jump into the icy Chesapeake Bay for a cause I am extremely passionate about: the fight against global warming.
I am going to plunge right on the beach at the headquarters of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation which happens to be one of the greenest building the country! I’ll join hundreds of other crazy folks in the Fifth Annual Polar Bear Plunge. The event, organized by the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN), is meant to raise awareness about the growing crisis of global warming and to raise the funds needed to continue the fight against it.
The basics are right below. For those who want to read more about CCAN, see the end of this email.
How to Make a Pledge
Last year, I raised over $1,000. This year, due to the economy, I’ve set my goal at $1,000. I realize times are tough, so pledge what you can. If I can get 200 people to pledge $5 each, I will meet my goal.
Contributions are tax deductable and it only takes about ONE MINUTE to make a pledge! IF you pledge, I promise to email you photos of me plunging!

Thanks in advance for your interest and support in the fight against global warming - and for supporting me while I turn a little blue in the process! If you're not busy, please consider coming out to join me I the plunge or cheer me on this January 23rd. It's a really fun event and we’ll have coffee from Chesapeake Bay Roasting Company and delicious food from New Leaf Vegan Society (they provided muffins and cookies last year and everybody ate ‘em up!!)
