A Message From Mark Brasil

Since 2008, I have had the honor of participating in the Torch Run Plunge in support of Special Olympics Rhode Island. Over the years, this event has become more than just a tradition, it is a meaningful commitment to the athletes and the mission we serve. From 2017 until 2025, I challenged myself further by participating in the Super Plunge, pushing beyond my comfort zone to raise additional awareness and funds. This year, I am returning to my roots with the Torch Run Plunge, continuing my dedication to this incredible cause. This event represents not just a moment in the cold, but a lasting impact on the lives of thousands of athletes who benefit from the opportunities, inclusion, and support that Special Olympics provides. Please help me to raise funds and awareness for the amazing Special Olympic athletes!
