The Lake Murray Polar Plunge is an annual event held by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Torch Run campaign. 100% of the funds raised, directly benefit The Special Olympics Programs around our state of South Carolina!! Danika Olafson, Treasurer of CWC ABATE, is a Special Education teacher at White Knoll Elementary School. Saturday, February 12th,2022, her ABATE Chapter teamed up with her AGAIN to support her and the Lake Murray Polar Plunge! For 3 years; CWC ABATE, not only donated money...but SOME have actually taken the PLUNGE! Yes, you read that right!! These fun loving, “Motorcycle Rights” Activist, who are “hairy bikers” with tattoos; dressed in TuTu’s!! Why?? Because they are the CWC chapter - (Cayce West Columbia) and I quote them as saying: "Cause We Can!!"
And boy, did they!!!
With ABATE CWC's support for Danika, and her school, half of the money raised that day, went directly back to White Knoll’s Special Olympics team. The money will help pay for, year-round inclusive activities, as well as, the game expenses.
