2012 Lewes Polar Bear Plunge
Plunge records were broken on Sunday, February 5 as 3,685 "Polar Bears" took an icy dip into the Atlantic Ocean to help raise over $650,000 at the 2012 Lewes Polar Bear Plunge to benefit Special Olympics Delaware. The water temperature was 47 degrees, which made the 2012 Plunge the warmest to date. The 5K Run/Walk to the Plunge was held the day before, along with other fun family events such as the Cake-Off with TLC's The Next Great Bakers, a chili contest and ice-sculpting demonstration.
