St. Joseph Volunteers, Coaches, Family members, Law Enforcement Officers and LeBlond Student Council all will be Freezin’ for a Reason Saturday.

They will be collecting donations as they sit on the top of the St. Joseph and Savannah Apple market locations. LeBlond students will be holding a boot block at Noyes and Mitchell. They will all be standing out Freezin’ for a Reason to benefit the athletes of Special Olympics Missouri.  They will all start at 9:00 a.m. and will stay there until they each have reached their goals of $1,000 for the 10th Annual Polar Plunge to be held Saturday, February 20th at Lake Contrary.

These are all veteran plungers and have challenged each other teams to raise the most money, so they all decided they would all take a store and sit on top that is where they teamed up with all the Apple Market stores. People are asked to come out and help them all get off the rooftops and out of the cold.

All proceeds from this year’s event will benefit training and competition for the 1,200 Special Olympics Missouri athletes here in the North Area.

The Polar Plunge is open to anyone 10 years or older and raise a “bear minimum of $75.00 and who is a fan of having a good time for a good cause. The event is hosted by St. Joseph Police Department, Maryville Treatment Center and will take place at Lake Contrary. Day-of registration begins at 12 noon and the Plunge starts promptly at 2:00 p.m.
