Jackalope Jump coming soon

Event benefits Special Olympics Wyoming athletes

The Jackalope Jump is a unique opportunity for individuals, organizations, and businesses to raise much needed funds for Special Olympics Wyoming athletes at the local, area, and state level by taking an icy dip into freezing waters. Money raised goes to Crook County Special Olympics and to Wyoming Special Olympics.

Jumpers must raise the minimum amount of $100 to earn the privilege of taking the plunge. Jumpers can raise additional funds and earn extra incentives along the way. If joining as a team of 5 or more, each person only has to raise $50 to jump! So grab friends, neighbors, and co-workers and form a team!

Get creative and come ready to win one of the contests:

• Best Costume

• Largest Group

• Most Money Raised by a Group

• Most Money Raised by an Individual

If you do not want to make the plunge, donate to an individual or team and watch them jump!

When: Saturday March 16, 2019

Where: Keyhole State Park Marina

Registration: Begins at noon with the Jump starting at 1 p.m.

Soup and hot cocoa will be provided afterwards for any and all who attend.
