The Henry County Sheriff’s Office is participating in the annual polar plunge on Sunday, March 3, 2024, at Bally’s Quad Cities Casino & Hotel at 2 PM to benefit the Special Olympics. Special Olympics Illinois-Region F provides free, year-round sports training, competitions, and health training for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
