It was a cold, rainy day last year when more than 200 people jumped into the waters off Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in Oyster Bay to raise money for the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County, Inc., according to Patricia Quinn, the association’s community outreach manager.

Quinn said Thursday she hopes the current milder weather will bring out double that number for this year’s Polar Bear Plunge.
