Video: Executive Director Bob McGuire sums up UCPN's mission - helping people with disabilities grow.

Gatehring 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), our intrepid volunteers braved the cold on behalf of UCPN's consumers. 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 have worked to make this the best plunge ever!
DJ Danny Sullivan was on hand to entertain the enthusiastic crowd! To keep our swimmers and fans warm there was plenty of good conversation shared over hot soup donated by H.R. Singleton's restaurant and hot coffee and tea donated by Dunkin' Donuts! We are also grateful to the volunteers from the Atlantic Steamer Fire Company who donated and served delicious hot dogs!
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!
If you would like to volunteer to help out at next year's event, please contact Elizabeth Katz (516) 378-2000 x352.
