Last week I posted that I am doing the polar bear plunge for the special olympics. The post reward will be coming later today and should generate 5-7 SBD that will transferred to US Dollars (USD) and donated to special Olympics on behalf of steemit.
I didn't get anyone to donate directly to my fundraising page, but I thought of a cool idea to encourage some people to do so. Giving money to a good cause and promoting steem and steemit.
To make this interesting you can give me a challenge and I will do it. Only rule is the challenge has to be something that is based on how much you are donating.
Examples:
50 push ups for a $50 donation.
100 seconds in the water for a $100 donation.
Anything like that. Just leave it in the comments of your donation.
Donation link is here.

Before the plunge I will go through them and do as many of them as possible at the event and take videos. Then will post those videos for you all to see. If I can't do it at the event then will do it soon after. I hope to see some really creative challenges from the really creative people on Steemit.
And of course you can still upvote this post as a donation as well. I will also take direct transfers of steem or steem dollars and will make the donation for you. Upvotes wont get to challenge me but direct transfers will, just leave your challenge in the comment section of your transfer. Since I have to donate USD, the USD value will be the number for the challenge.
A couple words from the organization itself. So you know what you are donating to.
You're making a difference
Every day we empower athletes to shatter stereotypes and exceed their personal bests on the playing field and in life. But for every inspiring Special Olympics athlete in New Jersey there are 16 more people waiting for their chance - and so many more around the world.
All proceeds support Special Olympics New Jersey, a non-profit organization that provides free year-round sports training and athletic competition in 24 Olympic-type sports for more than 25,000 individuals with intellectual disabilities.
Please share the donation link and/or resteem this post so that others that want to donate or contribute their steempower upvotes can as well.
