Description
Let's Get Hippie and Go Dippy for Special Olympics! This annual fundraiser encourage communities to come together by taking a plunge into the icy Lake Winnipesaukee to support nearly 3,000 Special Olympics athletes in New Hampshire. On Sunday, March 10th SONH will be hosting its Winni Dip at the Margate in Laconia, NH. This is the first community-based dip, SONH invites anyone over the age of 15 years old to participate in the Winni Dip! Everyone is encouraged to register online at www.sonh.org and create a fundraising webpage through FirstGiving. This year’s theme is “Hippies”, and everyone is encouraged to get “hippie and go dippy” by wearing costumes and accessories. In addition to jumping in the water, the day includes music, a costume contest, food and awards. The fund-raising efforts raised last long after the dip. These Dips help support all of SONH’s channels from Sports Training and Competition, Unified Champion Schools Unify to Special Olympics Healthy Athletes Program which offers health services and information for athletes in need.
