If you haven’t had enough of the ice and snow this winter, then maybe you should jump in the river. That’s exactly what 70 Penguin Plunge participants will do on Sunday 2/28 at 12n at Memorial Park in Nyack.

The Penguin Plunge is an annual fundraiser for children with serious illnesses.  This year’s recipients are two pediatric cancer patients, 11-year old Mickey Reeves from Tappan and Sean DePatto, a 7-year old from Stony Point. “Compared to what these two boys go through, this icy, snowy, slushy mess is a piece of cake,” says event organizer Barbara Noyes.

There will be food, music, and entertainment and T-shirts sold to commemorate the event. The penguins will take their plunges at about 1:30p.
