The annual Jackalope Jump is a test of athleticism, endurance, and kindness.
37 participants this year braved the plunge into icy cold water in the name of giving.
Special Olympics Riverton organizes the fun every winter. Not only is it a chance to watch some of your friends and neighbors shriek out loud as they tumble into the bath, it also creates long-lasting memories between everyday citizens doing good and Special Olympians.
