Raising money has never looked so cool, as a polar plunge will be raising funds for the Manitoba Special Olympics team this weekend.
A hole will be carved in Katherine Lake off HWY 19 this weekend where people raising these funds will hurl themselves into the icy waters.
Adell Gauthier, Director of Fund Development for this program, says the local group has been raising a lot of money for this cause.
"So the Clear Lake Polar Plunge, at this moment, is showing online that they've raised $7500 so far, which is incredible. I actually want to shout out to Toni Andreychuk who's taken the lead as our top fundraiser. She has raised more than $2000 on her own."
Gauthier encourages people to donate to the various polar plungers, or to come out in person, have a hot chocolate, and show your support.
If you want to donate to this cause, visit PlungeManitoba.com, or get to Katherine Lake for noon on Saturday!
