12/4/ SOPA - Polar Plunge

This Season Scott is Freezin for a Reason



For years, I have watched the news every winter and chuckled while people jumped into the icy waters of the Allegheny River. I never paid attention to the details that these folks were taking the plunge to support Special Olympics - Pennsylvania.
 
For those of you who know me, I swam competitively year-round from the time I was 6 years old and into college at SMU. They say I wasn't too bad (but I had an issue with practice). Maybe I was never a fan of practice because the water was always sooooo cold (Trees Pool at Pitt @ 8am in January for a 12 year-old = not a happy camper). Anyway, my friend Tom Baker reminded me that this year's Polar Plunge Event is on Saturday, December 4th - and I am now crazy enough to jump right in...... to support Special Olympics of Pennsylvania.
 
With this in mind, I followed Tom's lead to create Team ESSpa and we are inviting a few other brave, bold, somewhat warped individuals to join us outside Heinz Field this Saturday around 9am (we will be plunging in just before Noon) as the "Freezing Huns" storm the Allegheny River for a great cause. Come on now ? Will you join me for a swim to support Special Olympics on Saturday?
 

Don't worry - if you don't feel quite ready for a refreshing dip, then I invite you to support Special Olympics by making a donation (no amount is too small - or too large - and every penny is truly appreciated) to Team ESSpa "The Freezing Huns" Kozmetika.
 
 
PS - one other item of note. Tom and I are having a little get together with some of our other 'Plungers' at Hyde Park for a Friday Happy Hour between 6-9pm. So come on down to help us find some liquid warmth (or is it courage we seek) and wish us well as you show your support for Special Olympians.
  
 
Eva and I hope you and yours have a very safe and Happy Holiday Season because I will soon be Freezin for a Reason,
Scott Kerschbaumer
