I came across this via Facebook here and then discovered this web site for the annual Ford Lake Frozen Leap, http://frozenleap.com/ This is an annual fundraiser that involves, as the name might suggest, jumping into a frozen Ford Lake. This year’s event is going to benefit SOS Community Services.
The “Leap” itself will be on February 11, but the great local restaurant Beezy’s is going to be donating 10% on the Saturday before this, February 4 to SOS and I suppose as a kick-off to the Leap. Now, this I might do.
Given the weather this winter, it might be just the unpleasantly cold Ford Lake leap, but a good cause nonetheless.
There is a similar event at University Park on that Sunday for Special Olympics.
