MASSAPEQUA — CSEA Long Island Region members were ‘Freezin’ for a Reason’ at the Town of Oyster Bay Polar Plunge for the Special Olympics New York.

This year, Long Island Region members collected $23,000 in donations, which will sponsor 50 New York State Special Olympics athletes. Region members also collected donations at the event site in exchange for freshly cooked breakfast sandwiches.

“The Long Island Region is thankful for everyone who donated, took the plunge, or attended the event to show support,” said CSEA Long Island Region President Jarvis Brown.
