Law Enforcement Torch Run
Polar Bear Plunge 2007 Freezin' for a Reason  Kearney Special Olympics hosted the Polar Bear Plunge that took place
on Saturday, February 17th. It took place the the Fort Kearny Park
Recreational Area in Kearney, Nebraska. This year they had to cut ice out of the lake. There was about 10 inches of ice. There was a post-plunge party at the 1st Inn Gold immediately following the event. Afterwards athletes were able to attend the Tri-City Storm Hockey game. What FUN!!!What is the Polar Plunge? In a nutshell, participants collect pledges from friends and family, in exchange for jumping into icy waters in the middle of winter. All proceeds collected will benefit Special Olympics Nebraska. Who Can Plunge? Anyone with a little guts and a warm heart wanting to support the over 3,000 intellectually disabled individuals participating in Special Olympics Nebraska year-round program. You can plunge as an individual or teams up to five persons maximum. Team themes and displays of team spirit are encouraged. Don't worry, changing tents and warm concessions. Participants are encouraged to register prior to the event to assure incentive prize availability but anyone interested in plunging may come that day to participate.
