MOUNT SINAI, NY — The 14th annual New York Special Olympics Polar Plunge will be held Nov. 23 at Cedar Beach in Mt. Sinai.

Special Olympic athletes train for months to prepare for local, regional, and state-wide competition with the support of more than 5,000 coaches and 4,300 volunteers. They are never charged to participate in the programs, however, they rely solely on donations to pay costs associated with competing.

Start the fun the night before on Nov. 22 at the Pre-Plunge Party at J & R’s Steakhouse, which is located at 181 NY 25A in Rocky Point, where plungers can sign their waiver, turn in their donation, and pick up their plunge wristband.
