The 2023 New River Polar Plunge, which raises money to benefit the athletes and programs of Special Olympics Virginia, is just days away.

ROANOKE, Va. – A local gym is supporting the effort by WSLS to raise money for Special Olympics. Saturday morning, Brickhouse Crossfit in Roanoke held a fundraising workout. All month, 10 News has been raising money to participate in the New River Polar Plunge for Special Olympics. So far, we’ve raised over $4,000 and more than $26,000 has been raised overall by participants. That’s one of the pieces of our mission,” Brickhouse Crossfit owner Ryan Robertson said.
