Great Polar Bear Challenge 2025

On January 11, hundreds of brave people, including several Rotarians and Youth Exchange Students, will leap into Lucky Peak Reservoir near Boise for the 22nd Annual Gebert-Arbaugh Great Polar Bear Challenge. This annual fundraiser supports wish granting for Idaho Make-A-Wish!

Will you join us?   Rotary District 5400 is thrilled to have a team this year and so far we are the biggest fundraising group. This unique event helps bring life-changing wishes to children facing critical illnesses.

Wish kids are some of the bravest and sweetest kids you’ll ever know. Their innocence and unexpected wisdom stays with you.

  • When: Donate anytime; register now and plunge with us on January 11, 2025, 11am (team meets at 10am)
  • Where: Lucky Peak State Park Spring Shores – Map

Whether you’re plunging into icy waters, cheering from the sidelines, or donating funds to one of our participants, your participation and support make a huge impact.

Can’t make it? You can still help grant wishes! Register, donate or learn more.

Join us in making dreams come true—one cold plunge at a time!
