Hundreds of people braved the icy waters of the Hudson River to raise money for children in need this weekend.

The Stony Point Seals held their 19th annual Polar Plunge Sunday at the Stony Point Seawall.

The money raised goes to local children with extreme medical needs.

Olivia McGuire, a 15-year-old freshman, and Brian Mullin, a 17-year-old senior, both from North Rockland High School, are just two kids who will be helped by the benefit.
