Baller Keith_Menard Posted September 25, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 25, 2020 About 4 years ago, I lost my Mom to brain cancer (glioblastoma for those of you unfortunate enough to know the lingo). This year, my Aunt, the woman who taught be how to ski is entering the last stage of her fight with cancer, and I am watching as a member of my community is also fighting glioblastoma. On the day my Mom passed, December 5th, I am looking to do the waterskiers version of a polar plunge...taking my boat out of storage, dropping it in Webster lake and having people make donations for a run and some smores afterwards. I figure I will need a dock to borrow, and the club I ski with has given me tentative approval to use their property. Rightly so, they want to know what happens if someone is hurt. Is this something I can set up through USA Waterski? Basically, I am looking for some advice and input if anyone has some. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted September 25, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 25, 2020 If you are raising money for a particular charity - check with the charity to see if they have some sort of coverage they can provide. Polar plunges are a big deal around here - benefits special olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller klindy Posted September 26, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 26, 2020 @"Keith Menard" you likely can set up a sanctioned practice event or Grassroots event which can provide AWSA insurance. Participants will need to be USAWSWS members and you can sign them up day of if needed. Additionally, if the club already is a AWSA club, the general liability insurance should apply. Either way I’d call Nate B at USAWSWS for more info and confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Bdecker Posted September 26, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 26, 2020 @"Keith Menard" Count me in! I’ve got lots of reasons to take the plunge. Might have some contacts to get some coverage too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ DW Posted September 26, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted September 26, 2020 Agree, just lost B-I-L to same which also took his father years ago in same month. There are several Polar Bear ski events that happen the first Saturday in December and generally all are promoting a good cause. Could certainly offer opportunity.
