With over $2.5 Million raised by almost 15,000 plungers, the Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge was a huge success this year. We've got some great pictures of the event along with a first-hand video of a plunge. According to the Baltimore Sun, around 24,000 people took part in the event yesterday.

And the video:
While some chose to plunge up to their chest and rush back to the shore, others insisted that you had to fully submerge. Some plunged 4 or 5 times in a row, and others stayed in the water as long as some brave soul would accompany them. All-in-all it was an electric, positive, and chilly experience. A special thanks goes out to the Baltimore Sports and Social Club for securing a pass for a front-row spot on the beach.
