ABOUT

The Polar Bear Plunge is one of the most fun ways to support Arch Ballet this year. Our plungers will jump into the chilly water of the Atlantic Ocean to support Arch Ballet. On Saturday morning, hearty plungers gather at Jones Beach. The enthusiasm and excitement build as plungers await the boom of the flare signaling the start time. Then, in a wave of cheers from friends and family, they run for the water. Participants and their fans enjoy hot drinks and food in a beach tent after the plunge. All plungers and participants get a special Arch Ballet Polar Bear Plunge mug.

WHERE DO FUNDS GO?

The money raised through the Polar Bear Plunge supports the performances of Arch Ballet for 2020, join us in meeting our goal of raising $25,000. All the money (100%) goes to bring our ballet performances to life for the community. It’s a fun way to get involved in supporting NYC’s local art and culture. You’ll have cold feet but a warm heart!

CHEER THEM ON

Transportation for racers and their supporters are provided – a private bus will depart at 8:45am from 2430 Fdr Drive Service Rd E, New York, NY 10010.
