Make-A-Wish Polar Plunge

Plunge into the new year and make waves for wishes! Join us for Make-A-Wish San Diego’s inaugural Polar Plunge on Saturday, January 10th at the Catamaran Resort Hotel & Spa in Mission Bay. The funds raised through this event will directly support wish granting in our community. As you reach various fundraising milestones, you will take home exciting prizes such as a beach towel, water tumbler, plush robe, and more!
This is a family-friendly event. Children ages 6 and up are eligible to participate. Children under 18 must be registered by a parent/guardian and must be accompanied by a parent/guardian who is also registered and participating in the plunge.
