JOIN THE PLUNGE!

The Polar Bear Plunge is one of the most popular events of the Southampton holiday season. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we will not be plunging together this year, but the tradition continues! Participants can register to virtually plunge and collect donations from family and friends. On the second Saturday in December (12th), we will gather together (from a distance), for a car parade at 9AM at the Southampton Train station for a car parade through Southampton Village that ends at Coopers Beach. If you miss the car parade, you can meet us at Coopers Beach from 10AM-12PM to pick up a PBP hat and submit donations. We look forward to seeing you from a distance!

ABOUT THE PLUNGE

Polar Bear Plunge History

Since the first Polar Bear Plunge in 2004, the event has raised more than $900,000 to support HOH and its programs to help the needy on eastern Long Island. All you have to do to join the fun is sign up and collect pledges of support (donations) from your family and friends. Join us for an exhilarating leap into the holiday spirit. We guarantee it will warm your heart. C’mon. We dare you!

Where Do the Funds Go?

The money raised through the Polar Bear Plunge supports the Food Pantry and Assistance programs operated by Heart of the Hamptons. All the money goes to help people in need right here in our community. Your efforts help supply hot meals for the homebound, supplies/clothing for school children, warm coats, emergency fuel oil, medical transportation, food and much more. It’s a fun way to get into the holiday spirit by doing something good for your community. You’ll have cold feet but a warm heart!
