A Message From Robin Grimm

Several years ago, I completed an item on my bucket list - to jump in the ocean on New Years Day. I decided to do the Penguin Plunge - as it raises money for Special Olympics RI, an organization where all donations stay local - i.e. support local athletes. The reward has been immense....I have had the pleasure of getting to know some of these amazing athletes and am humbled that through the years, my friends, family, and co-workers have helped me raise approximately 60K!!! Once again, I ask you to consider giving if you can - and if you can't, please help spread the word if others might be able to help!
