Another Year I’m Freezin’ for a Reason!

I am so excited to be making an icy splash at Hampton Beach on February 11th for Special Olympics biggest fundraiser, The Penguin Plunge.  This will be my 9th year, and the theme is Halloween.  What will my costume be?

Please donate in any amount if you are able. It will make a profound difference in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and these Special Olympics athletes can participate in life-changing programs that promote physical fitness, self-confidence, and social inclusion.

Every dollar you give goes toward creating a more inclusive, accepting, and empowered community.  Anything you can do to help is appreciated whether it’s plunging with me, forming your own team, raising funds without plunging (a Pampered Penguin), volunteering at the event or spreading the word about this tradition. You could even do a DIY version, if you prefer. 

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Sponsorship inquiries can be made to Paul Staller PaulS@sonh.org

I am so thankful for supporters who keep this movement going. There are now High School, Middle School, Law Enforcement Plunges and Dips that all raise money for this worthy cause. I’ve been privileged to be a part of this organization, a humbling experience. 

Please consider a donation  today and help me reach my goal.  Thank you!


Sincerely,

Doreen

Wow, an amazing day! So much joy!!
Thank you to all who supported me with a donation and all those who encouraged me to do this cold water plunge for another year. But believe me, it is worth every bit of being uncomfortable and I plan to do it next year, too. I am humbled and honored. Many photos are on Facebook and I’ve added a few above. I appreciate you! 
At last count over $1.2M raised and still counting. Thank you all.

Plunge Ready

Saturday 10th Feb
Tomorrow is the big day! 
I signed my waiver, got my pass, turned in money and got my sweatshirt. All set to run into the ocean at noon time tomorrow.

Thank you to all who supported me by making a donation to this great event.
Today’s school plunge raised over $200,000 and currently the plunge for tomorrow has donations of over $1,000,000   AMAZING

PLUNGE READY!

Saturday 10th Feb
Signed my waiver, got my pass, turned in money, and picked up my 2024 shirt. So ready to celebrate 9 years!

Gaining in numbers! Just 1 week from today we PLUNGE!

Sunday 4th Feb
More Plungers and more money raised for SONH! What a difference a week makes; each one of us helps to make that happen with every donation. Thank you!

671 Registered Plungers

Sunday 28th Jan
That’s right! As of today, Sunday, 1/28, there are 671 Plungers for the SONH Penguin Plunge in 2 weeks! Maybe you can’t be there in person but want to Plunge another day, maybe your way? No problem. Sign up and you’ll get a DIY kit and you decide what works for you to fundraise. Don’t want to get water anywhere at any time in February ? Another way to make a difference is to volunteer or donate. Either one or both is welcome at this event! So rewarding and so needed. Let me know if you have any questions. All are invited.

Getting closer every day!

Sunday 21st Jan
So 3 weeks from today is Plunge Day 2024.  I am ready for it. 
My 9th time getting wet in the waters at Hampton Beach in the middle of winter for a great cause.
Any donation is greatly appreciated so that the programs and services for these athletes & coaches can continue.

Last year over $1M was raised from the adult plunge, high school plunge, and the Law Enforcement Winni Dip even before that last one took place.

Thank you for your consideration and support.
Have a fabulous day!

4 weeks to go

Sunday 14th Jan
In 4 weeks I’ll be Plunging into the ocean to support Special Olympics. 
Please consider donating to this worthy organization. 
And let’s hope that the beach is looking better than it has the last few days. But snowstorm or not, I’ll be there. 
Thank you.
