Get ready to freeze
Each year, thousands of brave and generous Minnesotans gather around the state to take a dip into many of Minnesota’s 10,000 frozen lakes. Polar Bear Plunge events are organized by Minnesota law enforcement agencies as part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run, a grassroots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle for Special Olympics. In 2011, nearly $2.4 million was raised through this initiative.
