Chesapeake Climate Action Network's Annual Polar Bear Plunge
FREEZIN' FOR A REASON: 20 YEARS OF PLUNGING FOR OUR CLIMATE

Register today for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network's (CCAN) 20th annual Polar Bear Plunge for our Climate on February 8, 2025! You'll be joining hundreds of your fellow climate activists at National Harbor just outside of Washington, DC (or BRRRR-tually from anywhere) to dip your toes into the cold waters of the Potomac River while also raising vital funds for our 2025 climate campaigns.

The day will be filled with laughter and camaraderie, as well as fundraising for a good cause! Our annual Polar Bear Plunge is CCAN's largest grassroots fundraising event of the year. Through peer-to-peer fundraising, Plungers raise over 30 percent of the individual donations that power our work in the year ahead. Check out the video below to get pumped up for our 2025 Polar Bear Plunge.

 

TAKE THE PLUNGE

By taking the Plunge, you're committing to help raise vital funds through peer-to-peer fundraising to support CCAN's climate campaigns in 2025. The Plunge is also an opportunity to speak with your peers and family about climate change – and of course – it's FUN! Learn more about this year's Plunge and our history here.
