NEWPORT, Ky. (PRWEB) May 20, 2015
Play a round of golf with former NFL All-Pros and Pro Bowlers – while raising money for animal conservation – by registering for David Fulcher’s Putt for Penguins Celebrity Golf Outing on June 6 at Beckett Ridge Golf Club in West Chester, Ohio.
Now in its fifth year, David Fulcher’s Putt for Penguins Celebrity Golf Outing benefits the WAVE Foundation at Newport Aquarium, with proceeds going toward the nonprofit organization’s animal conservation and education programs.
Fulcher, a three-time Pro Bowler and First-Team All-Pro safety and the leader of the Cincinnati Bengals’ famous “SWAT Team” defensive backfield on their 1988 Super Bowl team, is headlining the event and has invited a lineup of more than 20 celebrities to play with registered participants.
The list of Fulcher’s friends confirmed to play includes: Dave Lapham, Bengals radio analyst and longtime offensive lineman; Archie Griffin, former Bengal and two-time Heisman trophy winner from Ohio State University; Byron Larkin, Xavier University men’s basketball’s all-time leading scorer; and George Wilson, University of Cincinnati men’s basketball and NBA great.
One celebrity will play with every foursome of golfers for a five-man scramble. All foursomes include 18 holes of golf with cart, access to the driving range prior to playing, lunch, hole contests, live animal encounters – including a visit from Paula the Penguin – and dinner upon completion.
Registration for David Fulcher’s Putt for Penguins Celebrity Golf Outing can be completed online at wavefoundation.org.
WAVE Foundation Camp WAVE
CINCINNATI (WKRC) — Summer is just a few weeks away and if you are looking for a way your kids can learn and have fun they can jump right in at the Newport Aquarium. Kids can jump into the Newport Aquarium’s summer camp program (not the fish tanks). Each camp is a week-long and there are 8 different camp weeks to choose from. Kids will be having fun and learning at the aquarium. Plus part of the camp fee supports education efforts lead by the Wave Foundation.
Dan Dunlap slithered into the studio on Sunday along with a pancake tortoise, a milk snake and some campers who made penguin key chains. Dan says campers get to participate in all sorts of activities, arts & crafts, and even some events around Cincinnati.

Medical Edge: Penguin Petting Therapy
Tue, Feb 10, 2015, 09:25 AM EST
CINCINNATI (Liz Bonis) — If you needed another reason to own a pet, or even visit the Newport Aquarium, it appears that a personal petting encounter may have serious health benefits. Alle Barber and Ric Urban have pretty cool jobs; they get to play with penguins. Both of them perform education and outreach for the Wave Foundation, so they get to spend a lot of time with penguins. So who better to talk to about how animals help us heal? Ric admits that he can be having a rough day until he himself has a personal encounter with a penguin. “After thirty minutes, I feel great,” Ric said. “I am ready to go off and tackle the world again.” Alle said that a few minutes with an alligator will do the same thing.
“It really does make you feel calm, and just peaceful,” she said, “It’s just this feeling that nothing else matters in the world.” In addition to that, there may some power to actually petting the animals. A recent report from the Mayo Clinic found that when scientists looked at those who were petting animals, they had surge in healing hormones that led to a feeling of peace and serenity. While the effects are tough to quantify, just take a look at the penguins. Notice how you can’t help but smile?
