Be Bold. Get Cold. Every year, thousands of brave plungers take these words to heart as they take an icy dip into the Atlantic Ocean.
The plunges are a great way for everyone – individuals, teams, organizations and businesses – to get involved in supporting Special Olympics New Jersey. All funds raised go towards programming and events for thousands of athletes statewide.
