On Sunday, December 6, 2026, I will be participating in the Special Olympics New York Polar Plunge at Oneida Shores in Brewerton. This year is very special because we are celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Oneida Shores Polar Plunge, and it will also be my last year jumping into the water.

Special Olympics has been a big part of my life. I enjoy competing, spending time with my friends, and being involved in the Special Olympics community. This year, I competed in golf, volleyball, and bocce. I am also proud to serve on the 2026 Oneida Shores Polar Plunge Committee and volunteer at fundraising events throughout the year.

Last year, with your incredible support, I raised over $16,000 for Special Olympics New York. In honor of the 20th Anniversary Polar Plunge, I have set a goal of raising $20,000. I would be grateful for any donation you can make to help support athletes like me and so many others across New York.
