DIY Penguin Plunge raises $389,000 for Special Olympics
Portsmouth Herald
HAMPTON — For the first time in more than two decades, the water temperature at Hampton Beach for Penguin Plunge weekend was irrelevant.
This year’s event to raise funds for Special Olympics New Hampshire (SONH) was a do it yourself plunge. Plungers were tasked with finding their own water source and location to plunge anytime between Feb. 3 and Feb. 7th.
With a nod to Dr. Seuss, the theme was “Oh The Places We’ll Go,” owing to the fact that participants could take their plunge anywhere they wanted to as long as it was safe to do so.
