RI SPECIAL OLYMPICS PLUNGE

44th Annual Penguin Plunge

Join us on  Wednesday, January 1, 2020 and help us celebrate the 44th Annual Penguin Plunge for Special Olympics Rhode Island at Roger Wheeler State Beach in Narragansett. Hundreds of individuals will be “Freezin for a Reason” when they take the plunge at exactly 12 noon to raise money for Special Olympics Rhode Island.

 

It’s going to be the “Coolest Event” in Rhode Island with plenty of chills, thrills and fun for the whole family.

The Penguin Plunge for Special Olympics is one of the original New Year’s Day Plunges in Rhode Island and has been a tradition for generation after generation of plungers.

 

The Penguin Committee has been working hard to plan an event like no other, so visit our website at  www.specialolympicsri.org to get your official pledge form or use our online fundraising site at  www.firstgiving.com/sori to create your own fundraising page.

 

All proceeds from this event will benefit more than 4,000 athletes that compete year-round in over 1,600 training opportunities and athletic competitions.

Over the past 43 years this event has transformed into one of the largest and most successful fundraising events for Special Olympics Rhode Island raising more than $3 million dollars.  

 

All plungers are encouraged to raise a minimum donation of $50 for this event.
