Polar Plunge for the Special Olympics

In 2010, Special Olympic Director, Jerry Daunt was pleased that 27 people showed up for his fund raiser the Polar Plunge. This month, 165 people dressed as superheroes, wearing spandex tuxedo and of course a few dressed up as polar bears came and took the plunge.  The Troy Women's Association members were not among the 165, but for the fifth year we donated $100 and sent warm thoughts to all those wonderful people.

Special Olympics in Area 13, serves around 1,000 athletes in Genesee and Lapeer counties.  Read their press release of February 11, 2011.
