Dan Buffington, left, and Eric Carstensen, right, make their way out of the water during the annual Polar Plunge fundraising event Saturday, April 8, 2017, at Catfish Bay Water Ski Park in Sioux Falls. The Polar Plunge is put on by the Law Enforcement Torch Run, and raises money for Special Olympics South Dakota. More than 2,000 athletes from South Dakota participate in the Special Olympics, said Todd Bradwisch, Torch Run liaison with Special Olympics South Dakota. "The money that we raise from these events all stays right here, and it goes to support all of those athletes," Bradwisch said.
