Thank you Polar Plunge donors!

I just want to write a little note thanking anyone who donated to the Special Olympics during the Polar Plunge a little more than a week ago. The Live, Local, Ice Breaking team won the Silver Plunger (2nd place) award for Best Dressed in our reporting outfits. However, the most important thing is that the fundraiser raised $39,565 for the Special Olympics. There were 224 plungers who submersed themselves in 34 degree water with an air temperature of 28 on February 6. Check out the pictures below courtesy Duncan Phenix and Tyler Profilet.

Plunge with me!

In less than a week I plan to do something most people would probably think is completely stupid, but I think it's pretty cool. In fact it's so cool it's freezing! The Polar Plunge at Lake Boutin in Trail of Tears will be full of plungers to raise money for the Special Olympics Saturday, February 6.

I'm hoping to not catch cold, but willing to take the risk. I'm asking you to join me and the rest of the KFVS Polar Plunge team. All money goes to the Special Olympics. This is especially important because the state Special Olympics for Missouri will be in Cape Girardeau in August. The event will bring in 800 athletes and their families.

Just click here to donate. Just select the team member you wish to support from the list and select the “Support Me” link on their individual page. Thank you for your support.
