PHOTOS: RVA Polar Plunge Fest at Willow Lawn
Scores of participants took the plunge and collectively raised over $40,000 for the programs of Special Olympics Virginia.
Scores of participants came out for the third annual RVA Polar Plunge Fest at Willow Lawn last Saturday to take a dip in the (not so polar) pool in the shopping center’s parking lot. A benefit for Special Olympics Virginia, participants raised over $40,000 for the organization’s programs.
With temperatures around 75ºF, the event was anything but frigid this year and concluded just minutes before a line of strong thunderstorms brought hail and cooler temperatures to the area. Our Editor Trevor Dickerson was one of the many who took the plunge.
Check out some of the great photos of the event from Dave Parrish Photography below, and check out the full set here.
