Thank you to the 3,557 Polar Plungers who raised a "cool” $1,119,000 at the 2012 Polar Plunge Winter Festival, the most ever raised in the event’s 20-year history.
“Raising one million dollars for the second year in a row is incredible,” said Rick Jeffrey, Special Olympics Virginia president. “More importantly, though, these funds will help us to build bigger, better, more inclusive communities across the state of Virginia.”
