The Delaware Bay has a Champion!
The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary wants you to support Meghan Wren as she becomes the third person to ever swim Delaware Bay!
Meghan Wren, founder and executive director of the Bayshore Center at Bivalve, will swim across Delaware Bay on August 3 to help raise money and awareness of the importance it has in all of our lives.
Please come out to the kick-off party for supporters at JP's Wharf in North Bowers Beach (201 Hubbard Ave., Frederica, DE) this Friday, from 2 to 4 p.m. Tickets are available by calling (856) 785-2060, extension 108, or online at BayshoreDiscovery.org (select "Click HERE for Tickets!" and look for August 2).
Wren will arrive at Port Mahon, Delaware (near Dover) at approximately 6:30 a.m. this Saturday in preparation for a 7 a.m. start, conditions permitting (times subject to change).
The swim should take approximately 8 to 10 hours. Spectators, well-wishers, and bay lovers alike are invited to spend the afternoon (1 to 4 p.m.) on Fortescue Beach in Fortescue, New Jersey on Saturday, where activities will include a children's fishing contest, beach games, and t-shirt sales. This "Bash on the Beach for the Bay" will include casual music by Fortescue resident Steve Byrne. Refreshments will be available, and the Fortescue Grille (102 Delaware Ave.) will open at 1 p.m. for the occasion.
A flotilla of kayakers and pre-registered swimmers will meet Wren as she nears the beach to escort her in. Please e-mail SWIMDelawareBay@gmail.com if you're interested in kayaking or swimming.
Also, the iconic MISS FORTESCUE will board supporters to cheer Wren on as she approaches the Jersey coast. For a $50 donation, you too can join this historic event. Get your tickets by calling (856) 785-2060, extension 108, or online at BayshoreDiscovery.org (select "Click HERE for Tickets!" and look for August 3). Then gather at State Marina Dock 13 at 1 p.m.
After the successful SWIM, Wren and Team SWIM will gather in the gallery of the Fortescue Chapel, which will be open from 1 to 4 p.m., for closing ceremonies.
By taking on this personal challenge, Wren hopes to raise $25,000 for the protection and preservation of the Delaware Bay. Donations are being accepted at SWIMDelawareBay.org, and these are fully tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
