Special Olympics fundraiser doubles in size, donations.
Though it’s only the second year teams from the Pittsburgh area have braved the cold waters of the Ohio River for the Special Olympics Polar Plunge, the event has managed to double in attendance, donations and perhaps even enthusiasm. Though the water was reported to be 39 degrees, the sun shone brightly on Heinz Field on Sunday. “You couldn’t have asked for a prettier day,” said Sandra Bradshaw of Bethel Park. Crowds gathered early at the stadium in anticipation of the plunge that began at noon. Of those attending, about 1,300 were on teams that jumped into the Ohio River from the Heinz Field boat launch to raise money for the Special Olympics. By the week of the event, those teams had raised about $250,000. Some estimates immediately …

The Keystone Oaks High School dance team hosted a spaghetti dinner on Saturday night.

The spaghetti and meatballs were served up on Saturday evening, at the KOHS dance team’s annual spaghetti dinner. Team coach Megan Kamberis described it as one of the ways the team raises funds for its trip to JAMfest Dance Super Nationals, a national dance competition held in Covington, Kentucky, each February. Scores of people came out to the dinner to enjoy the food, interact with the team and enter raffles to win prizes. Although the event took place on only one evening, the hard work didn’t start-or …
