Swimmers Take Icy Plunge For Charity

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Plummeting temperatures didn't stop Hypnotic Donuts from holding its second annual Polar Plunge Sunday.

"It was great. I kinda want to do it again... but I'm not going to," said one swimmer.

Benevolent participants threw on their swimsuits and dove into a chilly pool at the pay-to-play fundraiser in Dallas. The raised $810 for North Texas Food Bank.

The artisan donut shop's general manager came up with the idea, according to the eatery's Facebook page.

The next Polar Plunge will take place the first Sunday of 2015.
