OUR MISSION
OUR MISSION
The Penguin Plunge is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit group that works to help the families of seriously ill children meet their medical and support costs as they focus on their children's health. We are a 100% volunteer group located in Rockland County, NY, and each year our "colony" of penguins hosts an icy plunge into the Hudson River in honor of the children we sponsor. Since our founding in 2007, we have helped 43 children and raised over one million dollars in total contributions.

WHO HAVE WE HELPED?
WHO HAVE WE HELPED?
Since 2007, the Penguin Plunge has raised over $1,000,000 to help over three dozen families offset the astronomical medical costs that are associated with caring for a seriously ill child. These are your neighbors... your friends... your community. From toddlers to teenagers, boys and girls, these brave youngsters fight a daily battle to live a normal life in spite of the conditions they face. The Penguin Plunge counts on members of the community (like you!) to help them in their fight.
