The Brigantine Polar Bear Plunge celebrated its 25th anniversary with a massive crowd of participants and spectators eager to start the New Year with a splash. From plunging into the cold Atlantic Ocean to supporting the Fisher House Foundation, this beloved tradition continues to unite the community for a great cause

With gyms closed and options limited, these walks became his daily ritual for exercise and reflection. However, what started as a means of staying active soon evolved into something much greater.
