Ammon’s “Freezing for a Reason” returns May 16; Registration closes Friday

The City of Ammon is preparing to be "Freezing for a Reason" to raise some cold, hard cash for a good cause. Registration is officially closing this Friday for the community’s annual polar plunge, with all proceeds from this year’s event benefiting the Shannon Wilker Foundation and local cancer patients.

The foundation was established to honor the memory of Shannon Wilker, a local woman who passed away from breast cancer in July 2011. According to the foundation’s mission, they focus on providing "immediate assistance to breast cancer patients and their families."
