Congratulations to the winners of the 2018 Harpoon Shamrock Splash JetBlue Flights!

On Sunday, March 11, 2018, more than 250 Splashers plunged into the cool, clean waters of Boston Harbor to raise funds to support free summer events on the region's public beaches. 6 specific Splashers were the very lucky winners of roundtrip JetBlue flights.

Bridget Ryan and Carol Haney were the biggest fundraisers, and won JetBlue flights because of their amazing efforts. Ryan, from South Boston, raised $1,190 and Haney, from Revere, raised $1,185.

Finally, congratulations to the winners of our raffle, Margaret LaForest from Quincy, and Save the Harbor's very own Ian James from Medford. Each will receive roundtrip JetBlue flights.

Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who splashed with us and helped us raise over $50,000. Congratulations to our JetBlue flight winners, and make sure to stay posted via our blog and our website to learn more about upcoming events.
