Polar Bear Plunge

Madison County raised over $1000 for our local club from plunging into icy cold waters on January 26th.  The Polar Bear Plunge is a fundraising event for the Special Olympics of Kentucky.  Participants raise money and jump into the icy cold waters for fun! 

Madison County Special Olympics brought home the Polar Cup in 2008 for having the most jumpers for a civic organization.

Thanks to the many volunteers who helped us raise so much money!
