Supporters of LADACIN Network, a local nonprofit, have found a new way to Plunge into 2021 and enhance the lives of people with disabilities. The LADACIN Virtual Plunge will kick off on Jan. 16 and run through January 30.
Instead of the traditional Plunge, it is a year to get creative with unique cold weather challenges wherever one may choose. Costumes are encouraged as well as any other chilly provisions needed to make LADACIN’s 2021 Plunge stand out, according to a press release.
The event will support LADACIN’s educational, therapeutic, social, residential and support services for more than 3,500 infants, children and adults with complex physical and developmental disabilities or delays living in Monmouth and Ocean counties.
