A Message From Emily Maclaughlin

Hi everyone, my name is Emily McLaughlin. I’m a Special Olympics Rhode Island athlete on the Pawtucket Pacers and this year’s honorary Super Plunger. I’ll be plunging alongside the Super Plungers to support more than 4,000 athletes like me who compete with Special Olympics Rhode Island. Please help me reach my goal – any donation, big or small, is truly appreciated. Thank you so much for your support and for believing in the athletes of SORI!
