Hundreds brave frigid Lake Michigan waters for Polar Plunge
"In about 2000 a group of 50 plungers got together and raised about $20,000 for the special Olympics of Chicago. And since then it's grown to be this iconic water event," said Mary Slowik, executive director of Special Olympics Chicago.
The estimated $2 million raised during Sunday's Polar Plunge will go toward all of the programming and competitions put on by Special Olympics Chicago every year.
