We’re Freezin’ For a Reason: Join the Polar Plunge!
The 2016-17 Polar Plunge season has kicked off, and we are continuing our commitment to supporting the Special Olympics of New York.
CSEA has a long relationship with the Special Olympics, as nearly 20,000 of our members work in the developmental disabilities field. Many of our members are involved with helping Special Olympics athletes train and prepare for participation.
We urge you to join — or form — a CSEA team in your area.
