QNYC Event Highlight: Rockaway Plunge

First of all, it’s really not that cold. Second, it’s for a great cause. And most importantly, the party afterward is rip-roarin’ fun. On February 2, participants will gather by the Colony Theater in Breezy Point and then charge into the water as part of the 13th annual Rockaway Plunge.  Not only is this a perfect opportunity to have some fun in the Rockaways after a few difficult months, the event also raises funds for the Breezy Point Relief Foundation, the Parishes of the Rockaways and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. There’s a heartwarming aspect to this year’s event as local resident Annie McMahon will be celebrating her Sweet Sixteen party. After she was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, Annie’s parents, John and Teresa McMahon, organized the first Rockaway Plunge.
