Sault embraces the cold, raises funds for Special Olympics at annual Polar Plunge
SAULT STE. MARIE — Sault Ste. Marie collected thousands of dollars for Special Olympics Michigan on Saturday during the annual polar plunge fundraiser. Each year, dozens of Sault residents brave a plunge into icy water to help out the cause. Polar plunges, which take place in communities across the state, are a significant financial boost for Special Olympics programs. Subscribe: Get unlimited access to our content The Sault plunge has been a tradition for many years. Sometimes it has taken place in the frigid waters of the St. Marys River, but it has also been moved to a portable pool outside of the 313 bar in downtown Sault. Temperatures were low and snow was piled high around the city on Saturday, Feb. 15 when the plunge took place. Precautions were taken to keep people safe, including a nearby warming station and an on-site lifeguard. Participants and spectators raised thousands during the event. In previous years, more than $10,000 has been raised in a single day. Along with the plunge, there were raffles, auctions, costume contests and other fundraising activities. — Contact Brendan Wiesner: BWiesner@ This article originally appeared on The Sault News: Sault supports Special Olympics at 2025 Polar Plunge
