Darla and her producer will freeze their butts for a good cause.
Bottom Line: Kudos to KMBZ-980AM morning talk show host Darla Jaye and her loyal producer Brian Malicoat, who plunged into a very cold Longview Lake to help raise funds for Special Olympics. Jaye originally set a goal to raise $3,500 and has exceeded that goal by nearly $1,000. 02-03-2008 To donate: http://www.firstgiving.com/darlajaye
KC Star: Jan. 31, 2008 Polar Bear Plunge is Saturday to help out Special Olympics
A record number of good � and outright brave � hearts are expected Saturday at the 2008 Polar Bear Plunge. More than 600 people plan to get themselves wet in either Longview Lake or Shawnee Mission Park Lake to raise a record of at least $150,000 for Special Olympics in Missouri and Kansas. Jeremie Ballinger of Special Olympics Missouri thinks people are looking for a different way to help others rather than just buying a raffle ticket or cookie dough. �They are moving on to the next level,� he said. It�s not too late to break the ice � you can sign up all this week or even at the plunges on Saturday. For information, go to www.ksso.org or www.somo.org.
