OSHKOSH (NBC 26) - Many people were Freezin' for a Reason in Oshkosh Saturday.

It's all to support Special Olympics Wisconsin. Nearly 1,000 plungers jumped into icy cold waters at Miller's Bay in Menomoniee Park. They were able to raise nearly $130,000 online; cash donations are still being tallied.

Last year between the Green Bay and Oshkosh Polar Plunges, about $430,000 was raised for Special Olympics athletes.

The Green Bay Polar Plunge is coming up on March 7th.
