DONATE TO 83 UNITED'S POLAR PLUNGE FUND
TULSA – 83 United continues to stake its claim for the best fans around. While we already knew this, the FC Tulsa supporters’ group are continuing to support the community off the pitch just like it supports the club on the pitch.
With less than a week to go before the 2021 Polar Plunge, 83 United have enlisted the help of a passionate soccer fanbase across the United States. Through their social media initiatives, the FC Tulsa supporters’ group has been filling in a map of the United States and asking other supporters groups around the country to help the cause. 83 United as a result has raised nearly $10,000, almost a third of the money raised for the Polar Plunge overall. More than 30 supporters groups from 27 states and Scotland have donated to the cause so far, and the push continues with just a few days left to round it off.
“Going into our 3rd year of doing the plunge our goal was not only to raise more money than last year but also to get more participation,” said Denis Lane, president of the supporters’ group. “Having different members from the sports community has been huge, and it really shows how Tulsan’s can pull together for a good cause. We also have been excited about the support from the soccer community outside of Tulsa, with four other supporters’ groups helping us spread the word.”
For the third year, 83 United is one of 18 Oklahoma area organizations raising money for the Polar Plunge, and event put on by the Special Olympics of Oklahoma. 83 United has raised the second-most money for this year’s polar plunge out of all organizations in Oklahoma, leading the charge for the Oklahoma Special Olympics’ goal of $50,000 raised for this year’s event.
“This cause is special to me because I have seen first-hand what special Olympics can do,” Lane said. “Not only to let people with all abilities to be able to compete and participate but make friends as well. My son who has Down Syndrome has competed over the years in soccer, bowling, bocce and track. Getting to hang with friends and mentors was one of the greatest bonuses that the Special Olympics provided that he may not have experienced without it.”
