Once again, Great Neck resident Erin Lipinsky will be “Freezin’ for a Reason” at the 17th Annual Town of North Hempstead Polar Plunge®. Last year, Erin raised $16,000, making him the top individual fundraiser of the event. This year will be Erin’s seventh plunge and his goal is to break last year’s record. Due to Covid Restrictions this year, the plunge will take place at Tobay Beach in Massapequa on Saturday, March 13, 2021 at 10am.

Join others who support Special Olympics New York every year by raising funds from family and friends—and then splashing into frigid fall and winter waters. The Polar Plunge® supports year-round sports training and competition, health and inclusion programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities in your community. This year, make sure you’re freezin’ for a reason!

All money raised helps to provide year-round sports training and competition, health and inclusion programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities in your Special Olympics New York community. Funds will also provide athletes with PPE due to COVID-19.

Erin’s fundraising page is up and has already raised some funds. To take the plunge or make a donation, please visit: events.nyso.org/goto/erinspage
