ESCAPE FROM SING SING PLUNGE – OSSINING  $28,174

HEADLESS HORSEMAN PLUNGE – SLEEP HOLLOW $26,212

On February 18th, 2023 Gullotta House organized its 6th Annual Fundraiser diving into the Hudson River. Supporters of both plunge locations – Sleepy Hollow and Ossining – made a fun day into another milestone for Gullotta House. Community members, friends, organizations, businesses, and TEAMWORK resulted in our most successful event to date. We thank you all. 

Ossining narrowly edged Sleepy Hollow in the fundraising tally. As a result, Ossining was awarded a Recreation scholarship of $500. Congratulations Ossining.

Our fundraising goal is to exceed $50,000 and 50 participants towards helping Westchester families facing a hardship, regardless of income.

Each plunge registrant is tasked with raising a minimum of $75. For those participants who attract sponsorships or donations in excess of $125, they’ll get to memorialize their plunge with a long sleeve event shirt. For raising $250, participants will receive a customized hoodie.

Not to be outdone, we have sponsorships targets for contributors and local businesses:

1- $50 Friend of Gullotta House; Facebook Shout out
2- $250 Facebook logo ad in paper
3- $500 Facebook logo ad in paper and up to 3 minutes talk about business at Plunge
4- $1,000 All the above, logo on shirt, and company sign at Event.

To sponsor this event or a person click donate above.

Just like last year, everyone must wear sneakers or water shoes and sign a waiver. Costumes are not only allowed but also encouraged. We are taking pictures and videos to celebrate this 2022 fundraising kick off.

It is not too late to sponsor any one or more of our heroes below by making a donation. Alternatively, plan to join the merriment in 2022 by plunging in yourself and get your friends to cheer you on, contribute to your campaign, and pass you some hot chocolate to warm you up when you come back on shore.
