I have been participating in the Penguin 🐧 Plunge with my brothers and sisters from Hopkins Hill FD for the past 22 years .
Again this year , in addition to the Penguin 🐧 Plunge on New Years Day , I will be one of the 24 hour Super Plunge Team members .Each team member will plunge every hour beginning Saturday March 23 and ending on Sunday , March 24 ,This will be my 3rd Super Plunge that i have taken part of.
I have been involved with Special Olympics Rhode Island for the better part of 24 years ,being part of the medical team as a Emt , to taking part in many fundraising events from the fashion show, to the many plunges,to being part of the truck convoy, to having the privilege to be able to transport the SORI support trailer to the State Summer Games .
For many years I have reached out to the many members of what I affectionately call Penguin Nation for they support in donations and they have always come through , I have also reached out to many friends in business and also to my many friends within the Towing and Recovery Industry and they have always come through for my incredible friends at Special Olympics Rhode Island I THANK YOU ALL for this support
In total last year we together raised over 50,000 and for all of the years combined we reached 152,701 absolutely amazing and we are only warming up.
Last years donation helped with our 53 foot trailer project that made its new appearance for summer games as it was escorted by around 25 Police officers to URI for Summer Games absolutely amazing day !!!!!
Next thing your donations went to was to purchase medical supplies for our Medical Team with that i am very proud to say that 3 AED's (Automated External Defibrillator) were purchased and have been delivered and training will be coming shortly
So thank you all so much and please continue to support myself and our Penguin Nation, Mike (401)639-2449
