Chicago and Cook Co. officials get dunked to raise money for Special Olympics
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Spring is coming, but many of us are still waiting a couple more weeks to get in the water.
But the chilly weather isn't stopping Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart and Alderman Matt O'Shea (19th) from diving in for a good cause.
Dart and O'Shea are joining students and faculty at Mount Carmel High School to raise money for the Special Olympics. They're plunging into a dunk tank to help support thousands of Chicago athletes with special needs.
It's ahead of the annual "Polar Plunge" happening March 5th at the North Avenue Beach.
