THE AFTER PARTY IS BACK!

After the Plunge, we’re heading back to Headquarters Beercade for round two!

We had such a brilliant time there last year that we couldn’t resist doing it all over again. Arcade games, drinks, good food and the perfect place to warm up and celebrate after taking the plunge.

Whether you’re plunging, cheering from the sidelines or joining us for the celebrations, come and keep the party going with us.

And if you haven’t registered yet, don’t leave it too late. Register today to guarantee your space to plunge!

Plunge first. Beercade after.

For 25 years, this community has proven what can happen when people come together for a cause bigger than themselves.

Together, we’ve welcomed more than 7,000 participants into the icy waters of Lake Michigan, raised over $930,000, and provided financial grants to more than 100 families facing the unimaginable challenge of childhood cancer.

Every plunge, every donation, and every participant has helped make a real difference in the lives of local families when they needed it most.

As we look ahead to our 25th Annual Plunge, Take 2 on January 23, 2027, we’re grateful for everyone who has been part of this incredible journey.

Thank you, Chicago. ❤️🐻❄️
