Jackalope Jump set for March 28

The Thermopolis Jackalope Jump fundraiser to benefit Special Olympics Wyoming will be held on Friday, March 28. The event will be happening at the Hot Springs County High School, 231 Park Street. Registration will begin at 10 a.m. with the jump starting at 11 a.m. You can still register to participate at http://www.SOWY.org.

 The Jackalope Jump challenges brave Wyomingites at numerous locations around the state to “Make a Splash”. It’s a great way for everyone – individuals, organizations, and businesses – to get involved in supporting Special Olympics Wyoming athletes. 

The Thermopolis community’s involvement is critical in aiding their mission. Proceeds raised go to help provide year-round sports training and competition for athletes. Additionally, your contribution and involvement help athletes achieve their goals, live healthier lives, and have a sense of inclusion in the community. If you cannot take the jump, you can still come out, donate, volunteer your time, and show your support.

 The concept is simple: participants raise $100 and will take an invigorating dip into icy freezing water. The jumps, however, are so much more than that. They’re the kind of fun and inspiring events that you really must experience for yourself. Grab some friends, plan fun costumes, get pumped, and register today. 

All jumpers that raise a minimum of $100 per person will receive a Jackalope Jump T-Shirt.  Participants who raise $500 per person will also get a 2-in-1 Hand Warmer and Power Bank. Those individuals raising $1,000 earn Skullcandy earbuds and the $1,500 level will get an additional $100 Visa Gift Card. All fundraising levels are per person. Team fundraising cannot be combined to be eligible for an incentive.

Online registration at http://www.SOWY.org is free and strongly encouraged by all participants.

Awards to recognize the best costume, largest group, and most funds raised are given out with a chance to earn some cool extras.
