Town of Brookhaven Polar Plunge

Last year over 500 Plungers braved the icy waters while spectators giggled with excitement. These brave souls are your neighbors, friends and of course Special Olympics athletes. Help raise money for the athletes of Special Olympics New York by asking your friends, family, co-workers, etc. to support you in taking the PLUNGE! Then, take a dip or slow crawl into the chilly waters of the Long Island Sound. Every Plunger that raises $125 receives an official Plunge sweatshirt, raise more money and receive more great prizes!


Whether you plunge or support a Plunger, come join us on December 15th for a cup of hot chocolate!
