Polar Plunge 2026
Beach Vibes. Cold Dives. Our Community Thrives.
Get ready to trade winter boots for flip-flops and take the plunge for a powerful cause! Join the Alfond Youth & Community Center (AYCC) for our 33rd Annual Polar Plunge on Saturday, March 21 in Oakland, Maine.
This year’s Winter Beach Party theme brings the fun – costumes, camaraderie, and cold water – all while supporting the AYCC’s work to nourish and support our community. Every jump into the icy waters helps ensure neighbors of all ages have access to meals, care, and connection through AYCC programs.
Whether you’re plunging solo, forming a team, cheering from the shore, or donating in support, your participation makes a real impact.
Why Plunge?
Your support helps the AYCC continue providing critical food access and community-based support – because when we come together, our community thrives.
