Happy Friday! Just a reminder that Columbia Industries programs and CI Information Management will be closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
It's that time of year to be freezin' for a reason... POLAR PLUNGE! CI will be making the plunge to help raise funds for Special Olympics of Washington. Due to COVID-19, there won't be an in-person plunge this year. This year’s Polar Plunge Challenge will be a virtual event held the week of February 22-26. Our brave participants will be doing individual ice bucket challenges from the comfort of their own homes. This will keep everyone safe and allow for some creative fun in how you complete the challenge!![]()
We'll be filming the plunges and compiling into one video. You can participate by joining our team and completing the ice bucket challenge OR just donating. Visit our team page here: impact.sowa.org/team/336511
