$2,250

The equivalent of 45 Beardsly, which is the total number of days between when I started this project and when The Wolf Pack plunges on March 12.

Wow. So far my incredibly wonderful, talented, intelligent and selfless family and friends have pledged more than $1,300!

That’s 26 Beardsly! You guys amaze me!

My original goal this year was $1,500. I see now, I need to dream bigger, and I am blown away by your generosity! What I’m seeing is that I have a legit, fighting chance of wearing this beard all the way through the Polar Plunge on March 12!

But I’m really going to need your help to get there. $2,250 is a LOT of money.

We can do this if we work together.

So many of  you have already donated money. All I ask now is to donate your social networks.  Share this on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, everywhere! Tell your friends about  this human oddity you know named Paul Jonas who is growing his first beard ever to support Special Olympics and the MN Polar Plunge. Thank you in advance!!

Speaking of thanks. I have to thank these wonderful humans how pledged on Super Bowl Sunday!

Papa & Sharon – Thank you so much! You have been so supportive of me through these plunges and so many other hair brained things I do!

Cogino – bacci bacci! Grazi!
