ATLANTA, Feb. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Plungers will "bear" the cold waters at LanierWorld at Sunset Cove on February 16  to support the athletes of Special Olympics Georgia in the fourth annual Polar Plunge fundraiser.

The Polar Plunge is one of the "coolest" fundraisers where participants raise money and plunge into the chilly waters of Lake Lanier. The plungers bring quite the excitement to the fundraiser by dressing up in crazy costumes and celebrating the success of their fundraising in which all of the proceeds benefit Special Olympics Georgia.

Participants must raise a minimum of $50 to plunge. All plungers will receive a commemorative Plunge long sleeve t-shirt and additional incentives and prizes will be given to the plungers who raise $150 and more. Registration begins at 11 a.m. and is until 1p.m. The Plunge is at 2 p.m.
