Oakland County Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics Michigan

Posted

The Oakland County Polar Plunge took place Saturday morning at the Rochester Hills Brewing Company.

WXYZ's very own Ann Marie LaFlamme bravely took the plunge for a good cause.

In addition to the polar plunge, there was a silent auction, costume contest and fundraising awards.

Proceeds will benefit Special Olympics Michigan.

Michigan will be having 28 polar plunges in 2018. Polar plunges are a Law Enforcement Torch Run event. 

LETR is one of the largest grassroots fundraisers for Special Olympics globally.

Funds are raised for over 23,000 athletes who participate in Special Olympics Michigan, a year-round program offering sports for those with intellectual disabilities.
