Lady Spartans Raise Over $800 for Polar Plunge
The Lady Spartans, the dance team for the La Crosse Spartans indoor football team, will be “freezin’ for a reason” this weekend as they participate in the annual Coulee Region Polar Plunge. The event is held annually to raise money for Special Olympics Wisconsin and the La Crosse Parks & Recreation Department. The Lady Spartans will be contributing an impressive $830 to this year’s cause, which is looking to improve on last year’s $200,000 fundraiser.
Members of the community will take the plunge into the icy river waters just off of Pettibone Beach in La Crosse all day tomorrow. The Lady Spartans will be hitting the icy waters at 1:18 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. The forecasted high temperature for tomorrow is 33 degrees. La Crosse’s plunge is one of 12 held throughout the state of Wisconsin.
