Earth Data virtual Polar Bear plungers, left to right, are: Ted Trumbull, Ron McDonald, Scott Wolf, Mark Williams, Ben Gemballa, Jeff Chipman, and Kayla Warhola.
In support of the annual Polar Bear Plunge at Sandy Point State Park, seven Earth Data employees participated in a virtual plunge at their office in Centreville, Maryland. Facing 27-degree temperatures, employees set up an outdoor shower and tub with one of the company’s drilling rigs to make their plunge.
“I have long been a supporter of the Special Olympics mission of celebration and inclusion of individuals with disabilities and was happy to participate in the Polar Bear Plunge as a member of the Earth Data team. Who doesn’t love jumping in an ice-covered tank on a cold winter’s morning?” commented Earth Data participant Ron McDonald.
