Nate Smallwood | Tribune-Review
A group of students from Shaler jump in a pool as part of the Pittsburgh Polar Plunge in support of the Special Olympics outside of Heinz Field on the North Shore on Feb. 28.
On a freezing morning outside Heinz Field, students and teachers from across the Pittsburgh region took turns plunging into a pool to help raise money for Special Olympics Pennsylvania.
Twenty schools and nearly 500 students participated in the Cool Schools Plunge.
The high Friday was 31 degrees.
The 10th Annual Pittsburgh Polar Plunge & Festival continues on Saturday with more plunging, food, warm beverages and unified sports.
Special Olympics Pennsylvania is the state’s largest year-round organization devoted to sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, according to their website.
