Just got an email from Cindy, the Director of Volunteer and Corporate Relations at the Special Olympics Hawaii. This Friday is the “Freezin’ for a Reason” event where celebrities take a plunge into a pool of icy water to raise money for the organization. It starts early, at 6 am! Brr…
Some notable plungernauts include Sam Choy, Leland Kim, Minna Sugimoto (KHNL), and Amber Lynn Hyden (KITV). It’ll be at Sam Choy’s Breakfast, Lunch and Crab Restaurant (580 N. Nimitz Highway).
Cindy needs volunteers to help behind the scenes. If anyone has time please send an email to me at blog@skipalunch.com and I’ll send you her contact info or contact them directly at volunteers@specialolympicshawaii.org. I’m both an annual donor as well as a past volunteer. I was a timer for one of the relays a few years back and it was a blast. Has anyone else helped out at the Special Olympics? Leave a comment, I’d love to hear about your experiences, thanks!

Skip a Lunch is an idea I had after reading an article in the National Geographic on the spread of malaria. It turned out for a mere $10 you could buy a family in Africa a mosquito net through the American Red Cross. I spend $10 every time I frequent a Starbucks, so why shouldn't I skip one lunch or cinnamon dolce latte and help save a child? I did. Will you?
