Kalamazoo raised more than $16,000 for Special Olympics recently with the annual Polar Plunge. Plungers had to raise a minimum of $75 to plunge, but many exceeded their goals. The Gazette reports awards were given to plungers for best costume, best team costume, oldest plunger, youngest plunger and highest fundraiser, which was given to Andy Pepper of Kalamazoo. Several businesses donated prizes and large donations to the fundraiser as well. It all took place in Western Michigan University's Lawson Ice Arena.
