BHL participates in Polar Plunge

The BHL team jumped into ice-cold water in the middle of winter at the Lexington Polar Plunge, a fundraiser for Special Olympics Kentucky that supports individuals with intellectual disabilities. The BHL team raised $750 for Special Olympics. The tradition goes back to 2011, when the first BHL members participated in the Polar Bear Plunge on February 19, 2011, in Duluth, Minnesota, with nearly 900 people jumping into Lake Superior at below-freezing temperatures.
