 It’s that time of year again where warm-hearted people take a very cold dip for a good cause. The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Nebraska is holding its annual Polar Plunge on Saturday, February 25th at YMCA Camp in Riverside Park. 

The Polar Plunge is an annual event that challenges participants to show support for Special Olympics Nebraska by plunging into the icy waters of the North Platte River – in the dead of winter. Plungers are encouraged to form teams, dress in costume and share their experience by using the hashtag #BeBoldGetCold. Those brave enough to run into the icy waters raise money by collecting pledges from family and friends.  Prizes are awarded for creativity and fundraising.

Proceeds from the Polar Plunge support the over 6,000 Nebraskans with an intellectual disability who participate in Special Olympics Nebraska.

The Polar Plunge starts at 9:30 a.m. with registration beginning at 10:30 a.m. There will be a post-plunge party immediately following the event also at YMCA Camp.
