WILDWOOD — Come on in! The water’s fine, if you are a Polar Bear Plunger.
Despite the freezing temperatures of January, plungers will take a dip into the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean for the 4th Annual Wildwoods’ Polar Bear Plunge for Special Olympics.

The plunge is a family friendly event benefiting more than 18,000 athletes of the Special Olympics New Jersey.
For the fourth consecutive year, the New Jersey Law Enforcement Torch Run is sponsoring the Wildwoods’ Polar Bear Plunge. The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics New Jersey is comprised of Law Enforcement officers who volunteer and are dedicated to raising funds and awareness for Special Olympics.
