The Countdown Begins
Mark your calendars because Presidents Day weekend, February 16th to 19th, is right around the corner, and Sea Isle City is buzzing with anticipation. With an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 visitors expected to descend upon our shores, the weekend promises to be one for the books!
A Cause Worth Plunging For
Sure, the Polar Bear Plunge is iconic and somewhat discontinued (officially), but there's more to this weekend than just icy dips and adrenaline rushes. This year, we're rallying for a cause close to our hearts—the Mike's Seafood Run-Walk for Autism. Founded 16 years ago by the incredible Monichetti family, this event has raised over $1 million for autism-related causes. So, while you're out there pondering about taking the plunge, know that you're also making a difference in the lives of children with disabilities. If you haven't signed up here is a link to register. Deadline is 2/16/24 by 3pm (EST).
