The Friends and Family Cancer Foundation board would like to extend our most sincere, heartfelt thanks to everyone who played a part in making the Turtle Dunk such a success!

Thank you to our 25 jumpers who collected pledges and braved the cold to jump into the lake.

Thank you to New Lisbon, Camp Douglas, and Armenia Fire & EMS for cutting the hole in the ice and keeping all of our jumpers safe.

Thank you to all of our sponsors and donors—we had so many amazing raffle baskets and auction items. Once again, the paddleboard was auctioned off, donated back, and re-auctioned three times! It’s officially becoming a tradition.

A special thank you to Ray Monroe and The Dirty Turtle staff for continuing to allow us to take over Turtle every year, and for never saying no to our crazy ideas or requests.

As of December 31, 2025, the Friends and Family Cancer Foundation has provided $747,199.27 in assistance to date—and that’s only possible because of you and your continued support.

Stay tuned for an update on what we raised at the Turtle Dunk, and for details about our St. Paddy’s Day fundraiser on March 13th at Heine’s in Mauston! 🍀
