By Mid Hudson News -www.midhudsonnews.com Feb 23, 2021 FISHKILL – The Special Olympics held their 23rd annual Polar Plunge on Saturday at the Sharpe Reservation in Fishkill. More than 180 participants jumped into the lake to raise money just hours after volunteers used chainsaws to remove nearly a foot of ice from the water’s surface. Teresa Gilli, director of Development for the Special Olympics New York, Hudson Valley Region said that the participants raised more than $116,000 before taking the plunge to celebrate their fundraising accomplishments. At least 258 Special Olympic athletes will be fully supported because of the efforts of our supporters, noted Gilli. While holding the event during a pandemic posed many obstacles, the event went off successfully. “We are so happy to have so many of our participants and their donors stick with us despite the challenges of the pandemic.”
