Less Than 2 Weeks Until 15th Annual AGH Pengin Swim
12-23-2008
Swim scheduled for 1 p.m. on New Year’s Day, registration begins at noon
The beachfront of the Princess Royale Hotel on 91st Street in Ocean City
will be crowded once again with hundreds of Penguin Swim participants
and spectators ready to cheer them on as the penguins plunge into the
icy Atlantic on New Year’s Day.
With little more than a week remaining until the New Year and everything
that means to Atlantic General Hospital supporters, there is still time
to raise money and join a team.
“This is a day to wash away the old and splash in the New Year while
helping to expand the services and equipment at Atlantic General Hospital,”
said Patricia Ilczuk-Lavanceau, Penguin Swim Chair. “Even as a spectator
– it is truly an experience.”
Wonderful prizes will be awarded to our brave Penguins for getting wet
for a good cause. First, second and third place trophies will also be
awarded to individual penguins who raise the most money as well as to
teams of penguins who raise the most money. Special recognition will also
be given to the youngest and oldest penguin.
