Throwing support behind the bid for a cure for motor neurone disease, the Magpies will also throw some local stars down a slide into freezing water during a break in play in their Wagga and District Junior Football and Netball League round against Wagga Swans.
Netball and football coaches, including Tom Yates and Bryan Ball, club officials and junior coaches are set to be sent down the donated eight-foot slide, all in the name of a good cause.
"We're estimating that we could raise $3000 the way it's looking," TRYC's Michael Mazzocchi said.
"I think everyone is looking forward to Tom Yates going down, apparently he's going in his speedos only."
Mazzocchi, David Pieper and Dale Hugo are other Magpies premiership players to be taking the plunge but Mazzocchi said a(nother) 'surprise club legend' is also set to ride the slide.
Donations will be taken on the day to reach bounties placed on the heads of club identities and determine whether they will be hitting the ice bath.
The fundraising action gets underway at 11.30am Sunday when the junior football games halt for half an hour of fun.
