Sierra Conservation Center staff volunteered to take the plunge for Special Olympics. In all, 20 volunteers turned out to support their teammates, raising $4,100.
The Sierra Conservation Center team ranked second for fundraising and had the largest turnout of volunteers at the event.
The CDCR team joined 15 other law enforcement agencies and business leaders for the 2024 Tuolumne County Polar Plunge benefiting Special Olympics of Northern California.
The Feb. 24 plunge into Tulloch Lake generated over $36,000 in donations for the non-profit organization and their athletes.
