Executive Director Susan Tellone and Chief of Staff Claire Minarick of the Samaritan Center at the Jersey Shore met with members of The Sons of Ireland at Val’s Tavern in Rumson to receive proceeds from the New Year’s Day Polar Bear Plunge in Asbury Park. “We are so grateful for the generosity and commitment of the Sons of Ireland, and for everyone who braved the cold to support mental health in our community,” said Executive Director Susan Tellone. This year’s plunge supported two local nonprofits making a difference every day. Samaritan Center and Hazlet’s Hope Network each received $22,500, strengthening vital services for individuals and families across Monmouth County. #MonmouthCountyStrong
