LAKE TAHOE – It was March Madness on the South Shore today as about 200 people braved the frigid waters of Lake Tahoe, all in the spirit of raising money for Special Olympics.
The annual Polar Plunge was at Zephyr Cove Resort and the water was about 48 degrees when the crowds jumped in.
“Today’s turnout was great!” said Harry Mong, Senior Director of Programs and Partnership for Special Olympics Northern Nevada. “$186,000 was raised and it goes to support our sports programs. There are 300 competitions in 11 different sports, and it is all free for the competitors.”
