Deep Creek Dunk Slated This Saturday
Feb. 21, 2008
The 10th annual Deep Creek Dunk will be held this Saturday, Feb. 23, behind Uno Restaurant, Deep Creek Lake. Registration is at noon, with the Dunk slated for 2 p.m.
Coordinated by the Maryland State Police and local law enforcement, proceeds from the event benefit Special Olympics Maryland (SOMD) athletes.
"The 10,000-plus athletes of SOMD represent the state's largest year-round organization devoted to sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities," said a Dunk spokesperson.
Pledges are still being accepted for the fundraiser. Interested persons may take the quick dip in Deep Creek Lake for a minimum of $50 in pledges. The event is free to spectators.
"Dunkers receive a commemorative sweatshirt, group color photograph, and the great feeling of freezing your 'fur' off for a truly worthy cause," said the spokesperson.
For more information, persons may visit somd.org, call 410-789-6677, ext. 503, or e-mail plunge@somd.-org.
