For several years, cbidder's have provided an overwhelming amount of support for Special Olympics via this giveaway. On Feb 15th I'll be participating in my 8th Polar Plunge for Special Olympics and all proceeds go directly to Special Olympics. Rules are simple, every $25 donation gets an entry into the drawing. If you donate $50 you get two entries, $100 gets four entries and so on. My parents brought back gifts after a cruise to Cuba last year so I’m excited to send some amazing cigars to the winner.

I normally post a picture of the cigars I'm giving away but I decided to show off my kids. As you may know, I did not post this giveaway last year but I still fundraised and plunged. Our third child, Cooper, was born on Halloween. When my wife was about 9 weeks pregnant we found out that Cooper had Down syndrome. I was actually wearing a Special Olympics t-shirt when we were told that I would have my own future Olympian. Cooper is healthy and happy. We are blessed.

If you're new to this and wondering who I am...my name is Jim Colvin and I've been on cbid for 20 years. I'm a patrol Lieutenant for the Brentwood Police Department in Tennessee and we work very closely with Special Olympics. If you have any additional questions please feel free to ask. Thank you guys for your support!!!

Done.

And a fine looking family Jim.

A great looking family. Cuter than all get out.

I will get it done tonight when I get home. Thanks for hosting this, it's a great cause and an outstanding event. I've been fortunate to have volunteered at some of these events. The joy and happiness of those kids is simply inspiring. I'm not sure who gets more out of it. The kids or the volunteers. 👍

I cant leave a fellow jrc hanging. I'll get into that as soon as I can.

Thanks thurson...I work midnight shift so it was a pleasant surprise waking up to see your donation. I can’t thank you enough.

Gunner...I couldn’t agree more. I almost feel guilty sometimes because I think I enjoyed it more than they did.

Jrc...I saw your post and thought I’d been hacked. 🙂

That boys a shot putter if I ever seen one!

Might take me a day or two but I'm on this... Special Olympics are awesome!

Done - please do not include me in the prize drawing - smoke them yourself!

Is the Popolar bears name new or has that always been the name?

Thanks for letting us know and doing this. It speaks well of your character. =d>

Opelmanta...thank you for your continued support. Not sure how many years you’ve been donating but you’ve certainly been generous.

We’ve been the Popolar Bears since we started. I couldn’t think of a name and my brother in law came up with that in ten seconds.
