Camp Sunshine is scheduled to host its second annual A.J.’s New Jersey Polar Plunge at Avenue Beach in Long Branch on Feb. 2 at 2 p.m.
Participants, many in costumes, will plunge into the Atlantic Ocean to raise money for Camp Sunshine, a retreat for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
Last year’s event raised more than $30,000 and this year the camp hopes to raise more than $50,000, according to Michael Smith, Camp Sunshine’s director of special events.
Participants must raise a minimum of $100 in pledges and “plungers” raising $100 or more will receive a commemorative T-shirt. For more information, call (207) 655-3800 or visit www.campsunshine. org.
