Middletown Penguin Plunge
*Crystal Lake*
February 25, 2012
**New $75 fundraising minimum
Registration: 10 AM

Last year, 235 penguins took the plunge and raised $50,000 for Special Olympics athletes and programs. The Middleton Penguin Plunge is one of ten Plunges for Special Olympics Connecticut that are scheduled to happen across the state this year, giving many the chance to jump into the chilly water in bathing suits, team jerseys or creative costumes for a good cause.
Special Olympics Connecticut provides year-round sports training and competitions for more than 12,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities and Unified Partners (their teammates without disabilities). For more information on how to donate please visit www.soct.org
Both plungers and corporate sponsors should contact Marc Mercadente. You can register online at http://www.soct.org/plunges/, or call 860 887-1555 to receive a registration packet.
