On Saturday, February 24th, CAT Crew is going to be making our 9th plunge into the (very) icy Atlantic Ocean in support of all of our NJ Special Olympic Athletes, including our special athlete, Colin! We are so proud of all that our unified CAT Crew team have been able to accomplish through the years and we are hopeful to continue that streak this year in 2018!
This year, the Polar Bear Plunge for SONJ will be celebrating it's 25th year and is hoping to make this year the biggest one yet! Last year, all of the participants of the plunge helped to raise over $1.9 million dollars and these funds are so important for programming and events for the 25,000 Special Olympic athletes in NJ!
The Polar Bear Plunge is very near and dear to our hearts as our team was created in 2009 shortly after Colin was born by our friend Jorie (our special friend and team historian). In that first year, we raised over $30,000 and were joined by more than 40 friends and family who showed their support. We were so blown away by what all of our people were able to accomplish and so CAT Crew was "born". Each year we find some of the team members who have been here since day one in addition to many new team members that cycle in and out through the years. We all come together for the same cause; to show our support for OUR NJ athletes!
We would love to have YOU join CAT Crew for our 9th plunge! All you need to do is raise $100 ($75 after your $25 registration fee!) to be able to plunge and in addition you'll score some really cool incentives as well! And in all honesty, if plunging into the ocean in February makes you nervous, that's ok too! We'd still love to have you join the team and join us on the beach (but you don't HAVE to jump in)! Signing up is super easy!
