Moose Jaw came out Saturday to take the plunge to support Special Olympics Saskatchewan.

The 2nd annual Moose Jaw Polar Plunge and their new addition, Too Chicken to Plunge, is held to help raise money for athletes representing our province in the games.

Multiple businesses and sponsors came out to support those jumping, first responders like EMS and the police services came out also, and other individuals and groups.

"We're thankful for everybody who came out to support this event," said Constable Landon Giraudier. "The money's going to go to a great cause and help out a lot of athletes in the province in Saskatchewan. So, this is the second year we've done this event, there's a possibility we'll be doing a third."

It was as much as previous years, but Moose Jaw's participants were able to donate a total of $6800 to Special Olympics. Chief of Police Rick Bourassa raised the most individually, donating a total of $1000. The Snowbirds gave the most as a group, coming in at $1301 raised.

The whole Polar Plunge wasn't as successful as previous, so there may be some changes for next year. So, next years plunge might not be a tour, but one set day for the province, but every donation and fundraiser does help Special Olympics.

"I think [the Polar Plunge] is very important," said the Special Olympics' Carl Paulhus, who is also an athlete who competes in bowling, bocce ball and hockey. "Because if we didn't have this I don't know how what we would do for athletes if we didn't have this every time to help us out with stuff."
