What do you do to support your community?
We have been involved with the local Polar Bear Jump for a few years now. A friend of mine that I grew up with started the PB Jump in 1996 where 10 of his friends jumped to raise money for a local church and a kid that was very ill. It was simple, they got sponsors. cut a hole in the ice in mid-February and jumped in.
A few years ago, PWS Inc. paid for and built their website. , we promoted the jump and set up a system for jumpers to get their sponsor packets online. The first year the website was up, their revenue jumped 20K and all of the money was given to several really sick kids in our community, Last year, with over 400 jumpers, the jump raised and distributed over 80,000 dollars to the kids.
This year, as we are rebuilding the website, it has had 1200 pageloads since January 1. One of the sick kids they are raising money for is my 16 year old niece who was diagnosed with cancer - Lymphoma.
This is a cool event and worth supporting.
