Break out your bathing suit.  It’s time for the Special Olympics Polar Plunge this Saturday at the Paint Lake Marina.

Melissa Suggitt, Manager of Marketing and Communications for Special Olympics Manitoba shares the purpose of the Polar Plunge.

“The Polar Plunge is the largest LETR driven fundraiser, LETR stands for Law Enforcement Torch Run, at the Special Olympics Manitoba. It supports over 2,000 athletes across the province of Manitoba and the Thompson Polar Plunge will see those funds directly impact the athletes.”

There’s still time to take the plunge.

Go to PlungeManitoba.com to see all the event information, to register or to make a donation.

Currently 19 participants are signed up for the fund raiser. Special Olympics Manitoba is hoping to raise 10-thousand dollars with this event.
