Taking the Plunge Feb. 21
Special Olympics Michigan is hosting the 2015 Polar Plunge on Saturday, Feb. 21, at its new location.
O’Kelly’s/Wayside will host the family friendly event. Registration starts at 11 a.m. and the plunge starts at noon.
“It’s one of those charities where you get more out than what you put in,” said Aaron Mills, Public Relations and Social Media Manager of the Special Olympics Michigan.
Teams and individuals can register at firstgiving.com until the plunge.
This year, the event has 49 teams, and a total of 231 individual fundraisers, which have raised more than $38,000. Funds are still being raised. Over 21,000 Special Olympian athletes will benefit from funds raised.
The After Splash Bash follows the plunge. The bash will include live music, food and drink specials.
