A Message From Paul Harrington
On January 1, 2026, at 12:00 Noon, the waddle begins on the Golden Anniversary 50th Penguin Plunge for Special Olympics of RI at Scarborough Beach in Narragansett RI.! Team Freezin' for a Reason is back again! Family, friends old and new are joining in on this great experience, that just happens to raise funds for a fantastic organization, Special Olympics of RI. I pray for the continued generosity of all that have supported us in the past.
Thank you!
For my 39th Plunge I hope to raise $10,000 towards our $220,000.00 goal. So I'm asking all that can to double or even triple their donation in celebration of 39 years of plunging!
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
Your donation won't keep us Penguins warm, but it will help raise funds for Special Olympics Rhode Island, a program of sports training and athletic competition for 4000+ children and adults with intellectual and physical disabilities.
I would also like to invite you to come down and see us go in the water. The plunge is attended by thousands of people and hundreds jump in every year. You will definitely see some sights. If you have a "bucket list" and want to do something crazy for a great cause before you die, consider jumping in!! You can tell people that you have done something that many would never dare. (sort of how I started 37 years ago).
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
Freezin' for a reason,
Paul
