Healing Hearts Connection
Hoff's Despicable Freeze
The Hoff Funeral Home staff is back again and ready to raise money for Healing Hearts Connection! Last year, our team raised just over $20,000, and this year, we are increasing our goal to $36,000! Please help us support hope and healing for grieving families with a donation towards our teams Frunge into Lake Waconia on Saturday, March 7!
**We even got Tim Hoff out of retirement to Frunge with us this year!!**
Meet our Frungers:
Ashley Czaplewski: The Brains Behind the Freeze (Insert Minion Laugh)
Proof that great ideas can also be slightly unhinged. Leader energy activated.
Tim Hoff: The Gru-p Leader
Our fearless leader who said “lightbulb!” to this plunge. Will absolutely pretend this was their idea all along.
Hannah Schultz: The Minion Motivator
Known for yelling “BANANA!” and hyping everyone up—even when the water looks criminally cold.
Lisa Hawkinson: The Over-Prepared Minion
Has hand warmers, extra towels, backup socks, and a recovery plan. Still wildly questioning their life choices.
Mara James: The Reluctant Minion
Agreed to plunge after saying “absolutely not” at least five times. Peer pressure is a powerful thing.
Laura Rainey: The Chaos Minion
No plan. No fear. Just vibes. Likely to scream the loudest and laugh the hardest.
Judy Anderson: The Softie with a Freeze
Big heart, brave plunge. Jumping for the kids at grief camp—and trying not to cry from the cold.
Maddie Schmoker: The “It’s Not That Cold” Minion
Said with absolute confidence. Will be immediately humbled by the water.
Nancy Dornfeld: The Silent But Despicable
Quiet on land, unpredictable in icy water. May surprise us all with a dramatic plunge exit.
Matt Hawkinson: The Minion Who Signed Up Too Fast
Clicked “yes” before fully processing the word frunge. Regret loading… ❄️
Meet our Teddy Team:
Mini Minion Tessa Czaplewski– The Brave Bear Boss
Too cool (and cozy) for the frunge, but still showing up for the cause. Proof that you don’t need icy water to have a big heart 💛
Mini Minion Maisie Schultz– The Cuddly Sidekick
Keeping warm, holding a teddy, and cheering on the frungers. Official morale booster of Hoff’s Despicable Freeze.
