Come join us...for our "Seventeenth Annual Penguin Swim", held on New Years Day to benefit the Atlantic General Hospital Foundation. This is a RAIN or SHINE event (we'll get wet one way or the other!) so come on out!

The 2010 Atlantic General Hospital Penguin Swim tipped the $500,000 mark for money raised since the event’s inception 16 years ago. With a record-setting estimate of $92,000 collected, event planners are thrilled with the turnout from Shore residents and visitors.

With the estimated attendance at approximately 600 penguins and a block’s worth of spectators, the Princess Royale’s atrium and beachfront were jam-packed by noon.

The Penguin Swim is a fun, annual event to raise funds to support our non profit, community hospital. Each year, hundreds of "penguins" raise funds to help the hospital provide the excellent quality care you depend on for your family and friends. Your fundraising will enable Atlantic General Hospital to continue to provide that care.

Please join us at the Princess Royale in 2011 to celebrate the New Year with a plunge in the Atlantic Ocean at 91st Street at 1:00 PM on New Years Day. Registration and incentive pick-up for the 2010 Swim will begin at 12:00 noon in the Princess Royale atrium.

Following the swim, Join us for the awards ceremony in the Princess Royale Atrium!

Everyone who raises a minimum of $25 will be eligible to win an incentive.

Teams and individuals also compete for awards. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards are given to the highest fundraising teams and individuals.

Get wet for a good cause! It's fun, easy, and a great way to give back to your community. And remember...it all comes back to you!
