Polar Plunge 2020 COVID-19 SAFETY PLAN
Instead of large groups congregating and plunging at once, they have restructured the event so that each team will have a personalized Polar Plunge experience in a controlled and safe environment. Polar Plunge waves will be assigned by team and be compliant with the CDC event guidelines and NYS Governors orders. All spectators and volunteers will be required to wear masks. Plungers will be asked to wear masks up until plunge time.
-All plunge Teams will have a time slot to plunge as no more than 50 people are permitted on the beach at one time
-Since they will have smaller intervals of plungers at different time slots, there will be a limited number of people able to plunge. Because of this, there will be a fundraising minimum of $150 for individuals and $1,000 for teams (for every 10 people on a team)
-All participants, spectators, and volunteers must comply with all COVID-19 restrictions
-BRRR-tual Polar Plunge options too!

Based on one of the most popular comic strips of all time and adapted from the smash Broadway musical, Annie is set in Depression-era New York City, where a spunky little girl (Aileen Quinn) lives in an orphanage run by the boozy, tyrannical Miss Hannigan (Carol Burnett). Annie’s hopes soar when multigazillionaire Oliver Warbucks (Albert Finney) decides to take in an orphan for a week to “upgrade his image.” She gets herself chosen, gradually Annie and her adopted dog, Sandy, ingratiate themselves, and eventually Warbucks adopts the girl. But his search for Annie’s missing parents turns up only the villainous Rooster (Tim Curry) and his venal girlfriend, Lily (Bernadette Peters), who conspire with Miss Hannigan to relieve Warbucks of both the girl and a hefty reward. It is left to Sandy, the other orphans and Daddy Warbucks to rescue Annie before it’s too late.
