OCEAN CITY – More than 900 people braved the chilly ocean waters off 91st Street this week to raise funds for Atlantic General Hospital.
On New Year’s Day, 910 participants – sporting costumes and bathing suits – took a plunge into the Atlantic Ocean for the 30th Annual Penguin Swim. This year, the hospital reported a gross fundraising total of roughly $109,000.
“It’s incredible what the community does to support this event,” said Ryan Kirby, Penguin Swim co-chair.
The Penguin Swim is one of the hospital’s largest fundraisers, becoming an annual tradition for hundreds of residents and visitors and many local businesses and community groups. This year, for example, legacy sponsor Bull on the Beach raised more than $20,000, while the Ocean City Ravens Roost raised more than $9,800.
Officials say the event is unique in many ways, particularly in the way it attracts swimmers from both near and far to raise money for community health care services.
Let’s find out what the hospital does with donations since the Feds took over health care under the guise of covid.
