Foxwoods' masked "Flashman," alongside Special Olympics athletes Jeff DePina and Jeremiah Clayton, demonstrated new levels of bravery to lead 180 penguins from the 30-degree air into the 34-degree waters at this third annual fundraiser.

| TRIBAL SYMBOLS |
 Framed against the sky, the lone tree on a knoll represents
Mashantucket, the "much-wooded land" where the Pequots hunted and
kept alive their identity as an independent people. Displayed on the
knoll is the sign of Robin Cassasinnamon, the Pequot’s first leader
following the 1637 massacre at Mystic Fort. The fox stands as a
reminder that the Pequots are known as "the fox people."

 A gift from the Winged Ones, feathers
carry prayers to the Great Spirit.
