La Crosse Eau Claire, WI, October 20, 2026 —

Winona Area Public Schools raised more than $22,000 for unified programs and Special Olympics through its annual Polar Plunge event, according to the information provided.

The fundraising total was reported as a combined amount for the two causes. The available details do not specify how the money will be divided between unified programs and Special Olympics, or how the funds will be used.

The event is described as an annual Polar Plunge organized by Winona Area Public Schools. No date, location, attendance figure or details about the event’s activities were provided. The information also does not identify organizers, participants or any partner organizations.

The reported total establishes the amount raised, but no comparison with previous years or fundraising goal was included. It is therefore unclear whether this year’s proceeds represented an increase or decrease, or whether the event met a target.

Further details about the event and the allocation of the proceeds were not available in the summary. The information provided identifies the school district, the annual event and the two beneficiaries, but does not describe the programs supported or the next steps for distributing the funds.
