MAKE A SPLASH FOR LADACIN
Dear Family and Friends,
The Eighth Annual Polar Bear Plunge to benefit LADACIN Network will be held on
Saturday, January 16, 2016. LADACIN Network, formerly Cerebral Palsy of
Monmouth and Ocean Counties, is a non-profit Agency that provides lifetime assistance
inclusive of education, therapeutic, social, vocational, residential and support services to
over 3,500 infants, children and adults with complex physical and developmental
disabilities or delays.
On behalf of the Plunge Committee, LADACIN Network and the thousands of families
who depend on its services each year, we cannot thank all of you enough for your
continued donations, participation and sponsorships. Since the Inaugural Plunge seven
years ago, we have raised over $606,000. The monies raised from this event have been
used to meet the Agency's greatest need. Over the past several years the proceeds have
helped fund adult programs; occupational, physical and speech therapies; and critical
repairs and improvements in our residences. Last year’s Plunge attracted over 200
plungers and more than 1,000 spectators who came out to donate and enjoy the event.
My involvement with LADACIN developed through the love and admiration that I have
for my cousin Elizabeth Hartnett (“Liz”). The services that Liz receives from LADACIN
have assisted her in becoming a productive member of the community. She has developed
the skills to move into LADACIN’s independent living apartment complex and to spend
several days a week assisting in the scanning/document management department of a
local hospital. Liz is a truly inspiring, beautiful and brilliant woman who continues to
amaze all who are fortunate enough to be in her presence. She continues to be my
personal hero and the Polar Bear Plunge is my family’s way of thanking LADACIN for
providing Liz with its life changing services for over forty years. Liz’s father and my
uncle, J. Michael Hartnett, was a long-time Agency Board member and advocate for
people with disabilities.
Please see the enclosed brochure for complete information and to support the
plunge. The host for the pre- and post-plunge festivities is once again Leggett’s Sand Bar
& Restaurant in Manasquan. There will be a United States Marine Color Guard led by an
Irish Marching Band, a 50/50 raffle, a buffet, and 95.9 WRAT will broadcast from the
event. You can help ensure the continued success of this event with your participation as
a plunger, sponsor, or by making a tax deductible donation. For those of you interested in
making a donation online or creating your own fundraising page, visit the Polar Bear
Plunge event page on the all-new LADACIN.org website.
