KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Lake County Special Olympics will hold its annual “Polar Plunge” into Clear Lake on Saturday, Feb. 23, at Lakeside County Park in Kelseyville.
Registration begins at 10 a.m., costume judging will be at 11:45 a.m. and the plunge will take place at noon.
A post plunge luncheon will be hosted by the Kelseyville Lions Club after the plunge.
This event is held nationwide as a fundraiser for Special Olympic athletes.
Every dollar donated is used to benefit local athletes. The money is used for equipment, uniforms and transportation to out-of-county tournaments.
By participating in Special Olympics athletes gain self confidence, discipline and other important life skills.
Special Olympics is an all-volunteer organization, and everyone can help.
You can be a plunger, a chicken (and still earn prizes) or make a donation.
To participate one must raise $125 and then you receive a long sleeve t-shirt. More prizes are earned as one raises more money.
