NOTTINGHAM, MD—On Friday, police plungers braved the cold and took a dip for charity.

More than 1,100 plungers from 70 teams braved the 44-degree Chesapeake Bay water in support of Special Olympics.

Their initial fundraising goal was $20,000, but once they hit that mark, they quickly raised it to $25,000.

In all, police plungers wound up raising over $54,000 total for Special Olympics Maryland.
