Take the Plunge with NBC Connecticut

Join us for the Special Olympics Connecticut Penguin Plunge

Freezin' for a Reason!  Don't miss the opportunity to run, jump or dive into the chilly waters of Connecticut. Last year thousands of "Penguins" took the plunge statewide to raise much needed funding for Special Olympics Connecticut.

"Penguins" solicit donations from family, friends and local businesses in order to take the plunge. Incentive prizes for money raised and individual and group awards are given in a number of different categories.
