This video shows why Special Olympics is so important -- everywhere.
We plunge into them to raise money for Special Olympics training and competition.
Brother Rob Ellnor from Local 89 is raising money for Special Olympics athletes in Indiana by jumping into a freezing body of water on Feb. 16 in Borden, Ind. He'll do it as part of the "Freezin' for a Reason 2013 Polar Plunge." Brother Ellnor has already raised $690 through the FirstGiving website.
Here's more about the Freezin' for a Reason campaign:
