Polar Plungers set to get wet and cold for a good cause

Kathy Scott from Special Olympics and Sheriff Mark Overman were guests on KNEB's News Extra program Thursday morning for one final push before Saturday's Panhandle Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics Nebraska.

A plunger can be anyone with enough nerve and heart, willing to dip more than their toes in some freezing water for a good cause. Minimum donations start at $50. Plungers can participate on an individual basis or be part of a team. And if you're taking the plunge, just know that this event is all about having fun while doing good. In other words, dress up in a costume or come up with a theme for your team, the wackier the better.

Check-in begins at 9:30 a.m. Teams and individual plunges will start at 11:00 a.m. Immediately following the plunge there will be a post-plunge party held at YMCA Camp. Food will be provided for the plungers and there are incentives at the $75 through $3,000 levels. Polar Plunge merchandise will also be available for purchase at the party. Friends and family members of the plungers are also invited to attend the post-plunge party.
