McKinnon Cougars

2025 DIY Big Freeze

The Cougars are fundraising for FightMND!

💙 We’re turning the Den blue for Big Freeze! 💙

This year, we’re taking part in the DIY Big Freeze in support of FightMND and take down the Beast that is motor neurone disease (MND). And we need YOU to help us make an impact!

DONATE TO NOMINATE your favourite Big V Head Coach or selected player to get dunked by buckets of ice.

Here’s how to vote:

Step 1: Scroll to the bottom of our fundraising page and check out the “Our Team Members” section
Step 2: Click on the coach or player you want to nominate
Step 3: Make a donation to their page – every dollar counts as a vote!

Every donation goes towards improving care for people living with MND, funding cutting-edge research, and helping us move closer to a cure. Together, we can beat the Beast.

Let’s show the true power of 🐾 #CougarPride 🐾 and help make a difference!
