FREEZE FOR LIFE: Watersports in Winter for Charity
We are excited to announce the return of Freeze For Life on December 5th 2009. The event is dedicated as a memorial to Kevin Waldeck, a former teacher who taught for more than 37 years and lost his life to cancer in 2007, with all proceeds funding college scholarships to local area high school graduates and cancer research.
Participants will ski, wakeboard, barefoot, surf, or tube on the frigid waters of Lake Geneva. Last year the turnout and support was impressive, with attendance numbers of over 200 people who braved the cold. Because of the huge turnout, we were able to raise over $20,000. It is our goal to have double the attendance with monies raised to exceed $30,000.
Safety will be of the upmost concern. Professional drivers and certified safety personnel will be onsite. Dry suits have been donated to provide the athletes with comfort and safety. In addition, there will be a hot tub where athletes will be able to warm up both before and after their time on the water.
The chosen date coincides with the Christmas parade in Lake Geneva. Though the dates are the same, the event will be held in the morning and shut down in the afternoon. It is our belief that “Freeze for Life” makes the entire day a festive one.
