Big FUN, Bigger FUNDS, Enormous Impact
Special Olympics Virginia achieved another personal best when the 2012 Polar Plunge® Winter Festival, Feb. 3-4 in Virginia Beach, topped off at a “cool” $1,119,000, the most ever raised in the event’s 20-year history.
“Raising one million dollars for the second year in a row is incredible,” said Rick Jeffrey, Special Olympics VA president. “More importantly, though, these funds will help us to build bigger, better, more inclusive communities across the state.”
