Polar Bear Plunge® for Special Olympics

In brisk 37° temperatures, with the Lake reading the same, hundreds of participants (in costumes) and their supporters, braved almost freezing weather to support Special Olympics Nevada.  This amazing organization provides athletic opportunities to children and adults with intellectual disabilities, instilling the confidence they need to succeed in life.  The photos pretty much explain the event.

Howie Nave, a comedian/satirist and morning radio DJ, he's a pretty big celebrity in South Lake Tahoe.  I think he was having the most fun!
Got to love a guy in bacon!  There was so much people watching happening.
The UNR Marching Band was incredible.
This group with the Wounded Warrior Project made me cry.  What an unforgettable moment.
This was an exceptional day of being in the company of truly caring and fun loving people all gathered for a cause.  Even being a spectator made us feel a part of it.  Maybe next year we'll take the plunge. Hmm.
