A message from Plunging for Steve D

On Saturday, February 21, 2026, hundreds of us from Monmouth County and beyond will choose to jump in icy ocean water as an act of solidarity with our local pALS (people with ALS) because they are conquering immensely greater fears every minute of every day. 

Steve Doherty succumbed to this devastating disease at the young age of 55. He was a devoted husband and father to his two sons and a true friend. Steve enjoyed coaching sports, watching his beloved Giants, and reading books of historical nature. He is truly missed by all who knew him. 

The "plunge" we're asking you to make doesn't involve freezing cold water -- but it will make a big splash in the lives of our PALS. Simply click the "Donate" button above to make a secure online donation today.  

Thanks for joining the family!

This is a great cause and a wonderful thing you are doing. I am also honoring the memory of a good friend, Glenn Petry, who passed from ALS on Feb.13 2015. Debbie says "Stay safe out there! "

Next Saturday's forecast: 30 degrees at noon; ocean temp currently 37 degrees Tom is honored to be taking the plunge once again in honor of our friend Steve. Imagine diving into the ocean under these conditions? The challenge is convincing him to enter the water in August! Go Tom/Dad! We love you! Christine and Tommy
