Hundreds of warm-blooded souls were freezin’ for a reason at the 2011 Polar Plunge for Special Olympics at Lake Andrea in Pleasant Prairie Saturday.

Plungers collected pledges in exchange for a plunge into the icy water. All the money raised goes to support Special Olympics, including participants throughout Kenosha County. Special Olympics conducts athletic contests and training for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Here’s some video from the day, including appearances by the Sheriff’s Department team, the Tremper Key Club and the Pleasant Prairie RecPlex Discovery team:
