On Saturday, August 8, 2026, I will be participating in Save The Bay’s 50th annual 2-mile swim, raising funds to support a clean and healthy Narragansett Bay. As a year round swimmer in the saltwater between Jamestown and Newport, Rhode Island, I am supporting the effort to protect and preserve the ocean.

I’m working toward a fundraising goal of $500, and any support from friends and family would mean a lot. Every contribution no matter the amount will help me to my goal. Please consider joining me in supporting this important cause.

This year, I will swim with the motivation of my dear friend Jonathan Cooper in my heart!  Jonathan helped to prepare for my first Save The Bay swim, (many years ago).  Please join me in supporting the legacy of Jonathan’s amazing love of swimming in a clean ocean with his friends!

Save The Bay is an independent, member-supported nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and improving Narragansett Bay. Founded in 1970 by a group of concerned citizens, the organization has long served as the Bay’s eyes, ears, and voice. Today, its work focuses on advocacy, education, and habitat restoration, all in pursuit of a vision for a Bay that is fishable, swimmable, and accessible to all.

 Go TEAM “FRIENDS OF JONATHAN COOPER”!!!
