6th Annual ucpn Polar Bear Plunge
March 7, 2010  
Theodore Roosevelt Park, Oyster Bay

The spirited Polar Bears and their supporters as they gather once again on the beach of Theodore Roosevelt Park in Oyster Bay to help raise funds for United Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County, Inc. (ucpn). 

The 6th Annual Polar Bear Plunge to benefit the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County, Inc. (ucpn) was held once again at the beautiful Theodore Roosevelt Park in Oyster Bay.  Honorary Co-Chairs John Venditto, Supervisor of the Town of Oyster Bay and Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg from Long Beach along with Chairman Jack Sullivan and the Polar Bear Committee worked hard to make this the best plunge ever!

We are extremely grateful to the volunteers from the Atlantic Steamer Fire Company who donated and served over 1000 delicious hot dogs to the hungry crowd!!  DJ Danny Kelly was on hand to entertain the enthusiastic crowd and to keep our swimmers and fans warm there was plenty of good conversation shared over hot soup donated by H.R. Singleton's restaurant, hot coffee and tea donated by Dunkin' Donuts, hot chocolate donated by Lackmann Culinary Services and cookies donated by Silver Lake Cookie Company!  KJOY's Street Team & Dave & Buster's Street Team were on hand to entertain the crowd also!

The ucpn is grateful to the Town of Oyster Bay for hosting the swim, all the swimmers, sponsors, volunteers and to all those coming to show support! 

The Polar Bear Plunge is dedicated to the memory of Lenny Ferraro - Co-Chair.  Lenny Ferraro was instrumental in establishing the ucpn Polar Bear Plunge in 2005 and has provided dedicated and tireless service to ucpn for over 25 years as a member of the Board of Directors and through enthusiastic work on   numerous vital agency committees. Lenny, a true friend to all, passed away on December 1, 2008.  This Polar Bear Plunge and all to follow are now dedicated in his honor and memory.
