LETR Polar Plunge Proceeds Exceed Goal

Snow White and a few dwarfs take the leap in the Jackson Polar Plunge.

The numbers are in and it's official: Special Olympics Michigan is more than $160,000 richer, thanks to a series of Polar Plunges sponsored by the Michigan Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR). The grand total of $161,207 is well above LETR's goal of $150,000.

More than 650 people took icy dips in freezing water at one of the 11 Polar Plunges that were held throughout the state. Proceeds from the Polar Plunges support the year round sports training and athletic competition for over 15,200 athletes with intellectual disabilities.
