Freezin' For A Reason!

Every February since 2002, Matty's entire team has braved the sub zero temperature and freezing waters in Muskego Park for one very important reason: Special Olympics.  In total, the company has raised over $135,000 for the organization and they show no signs of slowing down!

The Matty's Team, along with over 350 plus brave souls fund-raise money leading up to the jump, with it all going to Special Olympics Wisconsin.  Everyone has different campaigns in which they garner donations whether it's email, social media, or just good old fashioned door-to-door!  The minimum amount that needs to be raised is $75....which most jumpers easily meet and demolish.

Jumpers often dress in some pretty crazy costumes!

Live Music at the Jump Site to keep the party going


Check out this video to see a first hand look of what it's like to jump into the freezing water!





This years jump is happening on February 8th, 2015 and we need your support!  Consider joining our team and cross something crazy off of your bucket list! This is an all day, fun filled event with Live Music, plenty of people watching and some great food and drink to be enjoyed. There are also some killer incentives we do for our jumpers to help them raise that money!

You can find our page here.  If jumping isn't your thing, please also consider donating to this amazing cause and help us reach our goal of $20,000!
