Jo-Kell Employees Plunge to Raise Money for Special Olympics

Chesapeake, VA (February 13, 2008) – Employees of Jo-Kell Inc., an electrical distribution and engineering Company, raised over $1,800
dollars for Special Olympics of Virginia in the 17th Annual Polar Plunge on February 7, 2009 at the Virginia Beach oceanfront.

This year’s team, the Jo-Kell “Frost Stars,” consisted of employees along with their family members.  Employees were able to count on their
friends and family as well as non-plunging co-workers to help raise funds for the annual plunge into the frigid waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  

With the company matching the donations of the team members, Jo-Kell donated $1,800 to the special cause.  Money raised for the annual
event goes to the Special Olympics in their community.

“Our employees are not only generous, but a brave group of people,” said Jo-Kell’s CEO, Suzy Kelly. “They are always ready to jump in and
support a great cause!”

The Special Olympics Virginia Polar Plunge began in 1993 at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. 3,270 plungers raised more than $853,000 in this
year’s plunge.
