The Long Island Region held a Polar Plunge at the 43rd Annual Long Island Region workshop.
Members raised money for the New York Special Olympics through donations and t-shirt sales.
Special Olympics is an international organization whose goal is to promote inclusion, acceptance and understanding to people with intellectual disabilities. It costs $400 to train one athlete for a year.
