Area 5 special Olympics Michigan raised over $16,000 during last weekend's Polar Plunge in Downtown Big Rapids.

Pat Posales of Area 5 says as of Wednesday they have raised $16,200 for area athletes. She says none of that could have been possible without the generosity of sponsors and participants.

If you still want to give, she says people can still donate to Area 5 for the next 90 days.
