Polar Plunge at TOBAY Beach to benefit Special Olympics

Town of Oyster Bay residents are invited to be “Freezin’ for a Reason” at next month’s Polar Plunge at TOBAY Beach.

The annual Polar Plunge is scheduled for Saturday, March 19 and will benefit Special Olympics New York.

All plungers will be given specific plunge times and parameters during their registration, which begins at 9:30 a.m., with plunging times beginning at 11 a.m. Requested donation is $25 per participant. Plungers who raise $150 receive a commemorative Polar Plunge sweatshirt.

All funds raised at the event support Special Olympics New York’s programs and promote awareness of people living with intellectual disabilities in New York. Proceeds will help to provide year-round sports training and competition in over 22 Olympic-style sports for more than 66,835 children and adults with intellectual disabilities living in New York, giving them continuing opportunities at no cost to them or their families.
