Plungers are required to raise a minimum of $75, or $50 for students, in pledges by the day of the event.

On Saturday, priority parking at the beach will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. After the lot closest to the beach is full, shuttle service will be available between other parking areas and the beach.

CLOTHING GIVEAWAY: Cortland Trinity Church’s Closet will have a free clothing giveaway from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the church, 2576 McCleary Jacoby Road, Cortland. Breakfast is also free. All children’s clothing is being accepted.

IDORA NEIGHBORHOOD WORKDAY: The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. is hosting a neighborhood work day to board up and clean up vacant homes in the Idora Neighborhood, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday. Those helping are to meet at 820 Canfield Road.

GO BABY GO PROGRAM: Volunteers from Mahoning County Career and Technical Center and Youngstown State University PT Program, as well as local electricians and teachers, will work in conjunction with OH WOW! The Roger and Gloria Jones Children’s Center for Science and Technology, and Mahoning County Education Service Center to modify a small “fleet of cars” 8:30 to 11 a.m. Saturday.

Past research has shown that this kind of opportunity for independent mobility is linked to cognitive, social, motor and language development. Go Baby Go is a nationally known program that enables children 5 and younger with disabilities to experience the movement of driving a motorized car. The cars are specially modified to accommodate physical disabilities, including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and spina bifida.

The build will begin at 9 a.m. at the MCTC, 7300 N. Palmyra Road, Canfield. For information, contact Bev at 330-881-2906 or B.Lankitus@Mahoningesc.org
