Sue Paterno, a longtime Special Olympics Pennsylvania supporter and board member, joined more than 1,600 people in taking part in a virtual “Polar Pop” challenge this week.
The virtual event asks supporters to pop a balloon filled with ice water over their heads to raise money and support for Special Olympics Pennsylvania.
Adorned in a Penn State poncho, Paterno took part in the challenge alongside Matt Prosek, a Centre County Special Olympics volunteer and athlete. Noting she doesn’t like the cold, Paterno strapped on a Darth Vader helmet before taking the plunge.
“I love the athletes and I love what we do with them,” Paterno said.
