Town of Oyster Bay Polar Plunge is Saturday

Join other volunteers who are "Freezin’ for a Reason" at the Town of Oyster Bay Polar Plunge Saturday at Tobay Beach on Ocean Parkway.

Registration is between 10-11:30 a.m. The actual plunge is at 11:30 a.m.  

The event helps raise money for the athletes of Special Olympics New York. "Plungers" are  asking friends, family and co-workers to support them in taking the plunge – a dip or slow crawl into Tobay Beach's chilly waters.

Plungers raising more than $125 receive an official Plunge sweatshirt, with additional prizes for those who raise the most funds.

Special Olympics New York has 61,582 athletes training and competing year-round in 22 Olympics-style sports. Athletes and their families or caregivers are never charged to participate. It costs $400 to support training and competition for one athlete for one sports season.
