Officers Seize the Freeze!

 

Thanks to the 390+ Torch Run officers who seized the freeze for Special Olympics Virginia in February! While some splashed into the icy Atlantic at the Polar Plunge® Winter Festival, others dashed into the chilly Potomac at Tim’s Rivershore Polar Plunge® Festival, Camp Hydaway Lake in Lynchburg at the Hill City Polar Plunge® Festival and the New River Valley in Radford at the Highlander Polar Plunge® Celebration – and a few more provided helping hands on the sidelines. Leading the charge was Chesapeake Sheriff O’Sullivan, who was joined by three other Torch Run leaders: Fairfax Police Chief Roessler, Richmond Police Chief Tarasovic and retired Fairfax Police Chief Rorher.

 

Team True Blue with the Department of Corrections took home the top law enforcement team fundraising prize at the Virginia Beach event, with more than $10,000 raised. In total, Torch Run fundraising efforts for all plunge events brought in $200,000+. Now that’s COOL!
