As if freezin' for a reason wasn’t enough....

Extreme Team Challenge

The top two teams that raise the most money online through the team's firstgiving Web site will be awarded with some fantastic prizes and of course, bragging rights for the year. 

In 2010, Special Olympics Area 11 took home 2nd prize ($1,000 gift certificate from the Supply Room Companies) while the top honor was awarded to University of Richmond's SAE fraternity ($5,000 gift certificate to Mega Office Furniture). 

The deadline for contributions to be considered for the Extreme Team Challenge is 5 p.m. Friday, February 4, 2011. Note that any donations received after 5 p.m. still count toward individual plunger incentives.

Go extreme.  E-mail Katie Botha, Director of Development, with any questions. Special thanks to The Supply Room Companies and MEGA Office Furniture for their generous prize donations.
