Are you ready to take the plunge to help Chicago families?

The Chicago Polar Bear Club (CPBC) started in 2002 and 20+ years (and plunges) later, over 5,000 participants have helped raise over a $650,000 dollars to support 55 Chicagoland families!

Whether you’re looking to check off a bucket list challenge, get outside during a long Chicago winter, or do some good for your local community, our annual polar plunge is the perfect way to #DareToCare!


Our 2024 Plunge was an incredible success!

See below for 400+ photos from the plunge (click to see the full album on our Facebook page)

 
 

Now mark your calendars for the 24th Annual Polar Plunge
January 25th 2025 @ Oak Street Beach
