LAKE ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Lake St. Louis was packed Saturday morning as many prepared to take a dip for a good cause through the annual Polar Plunge.
The Lake St. Louis community teamed up once again with the Special Olympics of Missouri to raise money for thousands of athletes.
Participants from the Lake St. Louis Community Association and some people as young as 10 years old took part in the Polar Plunge. Many wore special swimsuits or attire as they ran into the water. Some decided to dress up as famous characters from popular movies.
Last year, Polar Plunge participants helped raise $98 thousand for Special Olympics. This year’s goal was not that high, but organizers believe they might come close to hitting that number again.
