Western Kentucky’s Polar Plunge raised $89,231 for the Special Olympics over the weekend. But event organizer Laura Miller says the total amount raised could exceed this year's goal of $100,000 once online donations clear and sponsors fulfill their commitments.
Miller says half of all money raised goes to the state Special Olympics program and the other half remains in the participating counties to support local athletes.
Of its seven active years, 2014 saw the most money raised at $117,000.
