Plunging on a rainy day
OYSTER BAY — A cold, rainy day didn’t stop CSEA Long Island Region members
from “freezin’ for a
reason” at the Town of Oyster Bay Polar Plunge.
Region members raised more than $17,000 for Special Olympics New
York athletes, making the CSEA Long Island Region
the top fundraising team for the day.
The donations will put several athletes on the road to fulfilling
their competitive goals.
