Plunge to benefit Special Olympics

PRIEST RIVER - The Priest River Panthers Special Olympics Team is raising money for the summer games as well as new equipment, and will once again be holding the annual "Polar Plunge" at noon on Sunday, Feb. 10 at the Bonner Park West docks.

Raise a minimum of $25 and earn the privilege of plunging into the Pend Oreille River while helping your hometown Special Olympics Team.

Money raised will help the Panthers with travel expenses, uniforms, equipment and other items to ensure all the athletes make the trip to the games.

Plungers will receive a T-shirt and hot chocolate and doughnuts will be available to everyone in attendance. Prizes will also be awarded for best costume, most money raised and longest in the water.
