2008 Polar Bear Plunge
Ravens Roost 13
January 26, 2008 was a much colder day on the Chesapeake than last year.  With temps  starting at 28 degrees and only reaching 35 degrees by plunge time, the wind speed of 8mph made an icicle out of our plungers very quickly.  The water temperature was actually warmer then the air!!!  Team Ravens Roost 13 recruited 39 team members and raised over $5,485.00 when all was said and done.  Team members included: Holly Price (Team Captain), Kathy Adams, Dave Ashby, Megan Brown, Tyler Caruso, Joe Cole, Joe Coverdale, Jennifer Currey, Shane Currey, Scott Denisuk,
Angela Eckhart, Larry Eckhart, Michael Eckhart, Lindsay Felix, Christian Fitzpatrick, Chuck Fogle, Leslie Foglesong, Travis Gillispie, Tommy Heagy, Mike Hughes, Joe Kessler, Ashley Long,
Chad Marsteller, Timothy Meadowcroft, Patricia Miller, Shelly Miller, Glen Neal, Rich Nodonly,
Amanda Palmer, Kyle Palmer, Bryan Price, Sr, Vivek Radhakrishna, John Reaser, Heather Sites, Gerry Strevig, Mike Terry, Rodney Trumpower, Tim Weaver, Gary Witkowski

Ravens Roost 13 met at Cherry's Inn in Freeland Maryland at 6am to load the bus, enjoy a coffee and board the bus to travel to the plunge together.
Welcome to the 2008 Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge to benefit the Maryland Special Olympics!
Upon arrival, all team members and supporters helped to set up our camp.  Camp included a HEATED tent stocked with a buffet of food, jello shooters and lots of friends.
These shirts were sold by our team (based at "Cherry's" Inn) to raise even more money.  If you are interested in purchasing one of these Tshirts, email us by clicking here! The shirts are $12.
There was a photo taken by the Baltimore Council of Ravens Roost photographer of all the Ravens Roosts at the plunge, as well as some Ravens players who showed their support, too!!!
Our plungers, supporters, members, and friends keep themselves warm prior to the 12 noon plunging.
