As a result, the team grew in size this year to more than 40 members raising $10,117 and counting to benefit the athletes of Special Olympics New York. This year’s Southern Region contingent included many new participants, as well as a group of seasoned Plunge veterans. A special guest, U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-Cold Spring) jumped with the team this year, wearing the trademark navy blue CSEA T-shirt. CSEA encourages participation and promotes the Polar Plunges, but this is a grassroots voluntary project for individuals and locals. To encourage involvement, President Danny Donohue established the President’s Polar Cap Award to stimulate a friendly rivalry between CSEA’s regions. The region that raises the most money through CSEA Southern Region members take a chilly dip in Fishkill. Southern Region Executive Vice President and Dutchess County Local President Scott Rajczi leads his children out of the water post-plunge. Orange County Local members get fired up to cool down fast. Long Island Region members show their unity as they brave the cold water of Tobay Beach in Massapequa. For more information and to register or donate, visit polarplungeny.org. Beacon School District Unit members are a hearty bunch. 12 The Work Force April 2016
