A Wish Come True kicks off the new year with its 22nd Annual Polar Plunge Challenge at Easton’s Beach, inviting participants to take a freezing dip for a meaningful cause. On January 1, 2026, hundreds of plungers and supporters will gather at noon to raise funds that help grant wishes for local children with life threatening illnesses.
Whether you choose to plunge on your own, join a team, or simply cheer from the sand, every contribution makes a direct impact for families across Rhode Island, Southeastern and Central Massachusetts, and Eastern Connecticut. Participants have until January 1, 2026 to raise $100 to earn a Polar Plunge beanie or $500 to receive a hoodie, with follow up available after the plunge to redeem incentives.
