Several businesses around Severna Park participated in Polar Bear Plunge events in March to support Special Olympics Maryland. Garry’s Grill raised more than $9,000 on March 5 thanks to support from the community and the following businesses that spent time in the dunk tank: Mahon Landscaping Maryland and Brendan Mahon, Ryan Parisi of Coerver United, Larry Sells, The Matt Wyble Team of Century 21 New Millennium, Rockwell Fitness and Brian A. Chisholm, Michael Hall of Severna Park Lanes, and The Big Bean.

The Great American Car Wash hosted a Polar Bear Plunge event with the 98 Rock team of Justin, Scott and Spiegel on March 6 to benefit Special Olympics Maryland. The big event for the day was Justin, Scott and Spiegel going through the car wash. Spiegel went in his car, but Justin, Scott and Jim Schmutz of Special Olympics Maryland all decided to take a stroll through the car wash as a type of “virtual plunge.”
