February 19, 2011

Building on a successful 2010 Polar Plunge in which WOW raised $9,000, WOW was able to top that in 2011 with an event leading $11,500 in fundraising! WOW Logistics would like to thank all of you who helped us reach that goal and cheered us on that day - it was for a great cause!

We also want to salute the brave souls who took the took on task of actually jumping in the Polar Plunge starting with Team Leader Jamie Wally. Jamie was joined in the icy waters by: Mike Hoadley, Mitchell Huenink, Ivan Johnson, Justin Johnson, Justina Johnson, Lori Leggett, Emilia Molle, Ryan O'Leary, Matt Oswald, Josh "Jamie Made Me Do It" Rodman, Scott Rogers, Aaron Schlines, George Van Stedum and Mackenzie Wirtz. Great job to you all!
