4th Annual Ford Lake Frozen Leap [Photos]

Tebowing

You could say we made it rain for SOS Community Services, but given the fact it was below zero with the windchill, we just made it snow. With everyone’s extremely hard work we were able to reach a total $10,300 fundraised!

We can’t thank the fundraisers, donors and sponsors enough, but we’ll try…again:

Top Fundraising Team: Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My.

Top Fundraiser: Amy Hansen

Spirit Award – 4th year jumping: We’ll Color Your World 

Best Team Costume: Grannylicious

*Quick sidenote, shout out to my personal favorites Liberty St. Hooligans, lumberjacks rock.

Sponsors

The Lake Shore Apartments, iSPY Magazine, Community Driven Credit Union, Bank of Ann Arbor, Beezy’s Cafe, Buffalo Wild Wings – Ypsi, The Blanket Express, CreateMyTee.com, DIY Decals and Signs, and Simply Delicious Events and Catering.

Simply put this was our biggest and best frozen leap to date. For an inside scoop at next year’s event and to get a jump start on fundraising and costume ideas, like the Ford Lake Frozen Leap Facebook page and follow them on Twitter @frozenleap.

Take a look on our Facebook page and tag yourself in all of the photos you see below. As you can tell by the most incredible “Tebow” you’ve ever seen, and quite possibly the best photo ever taken, you’re going to want to check them all out.
