News: Toronto Maple Sikhs - New Years Polar Bear Dip - Videos

WOW!  Fantastic Day it was.

Just Imagine two dozen Maple Leaf Sikhs taking the plunge in Freezing Lake Ontario!  It happened on Jan 1st, 2011 in pouring rain. 

As a team we had three goals and we reached them all.  

1.  Have female involvement. 

2.  Double the number of participants from last year's dozen. 

3.  Be the #1 Fundraising Team.

We had six ladies take the plunge and we raised over $7000 for Toronto's Habitat for Humanity more than twice the second place team.

For 2012 - We're hoping that more young Toronto Sikhs and Non-Sikhs join us! 

It would me amazing to see 50 people take the plunge and raise more than $10K for Toronto's Habitat for Humanity.

My sincerest Thanks to all those who sponsored me and helped me raise my goal of $1000!

I have uploaded a few videos to my YouTube channel.  Search "Toronto Maple Sikhs" or "Jas Jagpal".  I spent a considerable time editing the shots my wife took and even created a slow-motion classic with the "Chariots of Fire" Olympic soundtrack from my school days.

OK!!!! I promise my next posting will be back to the Toronto Real Estate Market.

Happy NEW YEAR and may it be full of Happiness, Health and Success!

UNIQUE BROWN POLAR BEAR

Brown Polar Bears are a rarity... but this January 1st, 2011 at Sunnyside Pavillion at 11:00 am there is going to be a dozen or more Brown Toronto Polar Bears diving into the frigid waters of Lake Ontario.  These Polar Bears bleed Blue & White- they need the Leaf Nation to come out and support their cause, like they did last year.

I know everyone is busy with the holiday planning, snow shoveling and last minute Christmas shopping.  While you are doing that I'm sitting in an ice-filled tub practicing like a LEAF for my New Years Day Polar Bear Dip :).  I know, I know you must be thinking... these Brown Polar Bear Dudes are crazy to take the plunge again... they are just nuts!  but that's a sign of True Grit, Sacrificing the Body for the Team!  Help us LEAF FANS?

You know the water is extremely cold... hovering at 0 deg C.   I'm feeling cold just thinking of it... and tell you the truth Brown Bear's hate the cold?

But hey... when there is a good cause... True Leaf Fans don't back down and will support us.

How can Leaf Nation help out the Brown Polar Bears?  We want to be the #1 fundraising team ever.  Help the Brown and White, in their efforts to raise needed
money for 60,000 families in need of decent shelter in Toronto. 

Face it... many of us are very blessed financially and we're not going to break the bank by donating $10, $20, $50 or what ever.  Or we know friends and family who can.  Think of the Good Karma you'll get by donating or forwarding this e-mail to at least 5 friends and family members and help the Toronto Maple Brown Polar Bears raise funds for Habitat for Humanity.

So Leaf Nation make us proud and Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so very much for donating, twittering, facebooking and forwarding this post.  For donations of $20 or more you will be e-mailed a tax reciept.

PLEASE SUPPORT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY - NEW YEARS DAY POLAR BEAR DIP
I'll be diving into Lake Ontario, January 1st, 2011.  See you then... and we'll be posting videos to facebook later.

DONATE NOW
