The water in the Hudson River is quite chilly, but not too cold to go in for good cause.
And that's exactly what people did in Nyack yesterday for the 14th Annual Penguin Plunge.
The fun, yet frigid event is a fundraiser that helps families with serious illnesses meet their medical costs.
This year money is benefiting two youngsters - Louis Caputo and Elijah Torres. Organizers took many precautions to make sure all of the participants were practicing social distancing and all other safety protocols.
