NEW GLARUS — Employees of The Bank of New Glarus and Sugar River Bank Branches recently braved the cold weather and took the Polar Plunge in nothing but shorts, T-shirts and tutus, jumping into a cut-out section of a frozen part of Lake Monona.

In addition to taking the plunge, The Bank of New Glarus collected donations from employees, friends and family to support Special Olympics Wisconsin, an organization dedicated to providing year-round sports opportunities to more than 10,000 athletes, of any age and skill level, across the state of Wisconsin. 

After combining the number of donations solicited by the bank with the amount donated by the bank itself, they were able to donate a total amount of $2,325 to Special Olympics Wisconsin.

The Bank of New Glarus and Sugar River Bank Branches is headquartered in New Glarus and has branch offices located in New Glarus, Belleville, Monroe, Juda and Brodhead.
