On Saturday, March 19, locals and visitors alike will line the 96th St. beach in Stone Harbor. These participants will resist bone chilling March winds and freezing temperatures as they stand side by side…in their bathing suits.
To top it off, this crowd will willingly take a running leap into the frigid (42 degrees) Atlantic Ocean. And they’ll most likely return the next year to do it all over again.
The Borough of Stone Harbor is announcing the first ever Stone Harbor Shiver, an event that many lovingly call a Polar Bear Plunge.
Proceeds from this event will benefit the Stone Harbor Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squads and sponsorship opportunities are still available. Additionally, vendors are invited to participate with designated booths under a tent at the Women’s Civic Club.
Every major event requires a Master of Ceremonies, and the Shiver is no different. The Committee will be selecting a King and Queen, which will be announced Thanksgiving Weekend.
There is a Stone Harbor Shiver Facebook Page: “Stone Harbor Shiver,” where you can find more information on sponsorships and registration can be found on the Stone Harbor Shiver Facebook page.
Checks are to be made payable to the Borough of Stone Harbor, and questions can be e-mailed to stoneharborshiver@gmail.com.
Registration information, nominee updates, discounts, and deals will be continuously posted and announced, so keep your ears open regarding this great event!
