Seaside Heights NJ, Ridgewood PBA members joined thousands of others to help raise money for NJ Special Olympics. The waters of Seaside were a little cold but it was a spectacular event that ensures no NJ Special Olympian is limited by the cost of competing.
Ridgewood PBA members and over 7,000 people, some in costume, some just dressed for cold weather, dashed down the dunes in Seaside Heights on Saturday in the 25th anniversary of the Seaside Heights Polar Bear Plunge to raise funds for the Special Olympics of New Jersey. Officials with the Special Olympics said plungers raised more than $2 million, which goes to support the more than 25,000 athletes.
