A Message From Chris Schmidt

We are very excited for the Penguin Plunge to be back in person this year. It has become an exciting holiday tradition for our family and a fun way to support Special Olympics Rhode Island. SORI programming allows athletes, like our son Turner, to learn, develop, and grow through athletic competition. These athletes bond with members of their community, understand the value of teamwork, and are proud to showcase their abilities. Thank you so much for your support! If you would like to start a team and take the plunge with me, please let me know. The more the merrier!
