Alum takes the plunge for Special Olympics
Jeff Iker ’05, jumped in an icy pool on a frosty January day to raise money for Special Olympics. Iker has participated in the Polar Bear for several years, but this dip was on a colder day than those held in previous years, with a temperature in the teens. Iker joined a large contingent from Northern Kentucky University to jump in the pool. The dip raised about $60,000 for the Special Olympics of Ohio and Kentucky.To read more about the event, click here.
