12/14/12 - Community members are once again being invited to experience the power of plunging. The annual Law Enforcement Torch Run® Polar Plunge series will return in the new year, with 28 plunges scheduled throughout the state to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics Michigan athletes. Proceeds from the plunges help support year-round sports training and athletic competition for thousands of children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Local events are planned in Brighton and Fenton, during which most participants dress up in costume and plunge into freezing waters for the cause. The Fenton Polar Plunge will take place February 9th in Lake Fenton at the Fenton Moose Lodge while the Brighton Polar Plunge is scheduled at the high school on February 23rd. Registration for both begins at noon with the plunges at 1pm, followed by post-plunge parties and awards ceremonies. A link to more information and registration details can be found below. (JM)
