MCHENRY, Md. (AP) — Organizers say hundreds of people will brave temperatures in the upper 30s to take a dip in Deep Creek Lake for charity.

The annual event Saturday in McHenry benefits Special Olympics of Maryland.

In 2010, about 350 people participated despite near-blizzard conditions, and raised about $150,000.

The weather forecast for this year’s event includes partial sunshine.
