A Wish Come True: 21st Annual Polar Plunge

Kick off 2025 by Plunging for A Wish Come True

A Wish Come True, the oldest wish-granting organization in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, will host its annual Polar Plunge at Easton’s Beach (AKA First Beach) in Newport on Wednesday, January 1st, from 11:00 AM till 1:30 PM. Arrive early, as parking will be limited. This year’s presenting sponsor is LiUNA- RI Laborers’ District Council.

This year’s featured “Wish Kids” are Lars and Indy. Lars is 8 years old from Jamestown. Indy is 4 years old and is from Coventry RI. Lars had a stroke last February. Indy is struggling with brain cancer. Indy’s father works for the Town of North Kingstown, and it is the main reason LIUNA is the presenting sponsor. Both children’s wish is to go to Florida. One will go to Disney and the other to an exclusive Marriott resort.

Plungers will be encouraged to give $25 to take the big plunge. In addition, there will be t-shirts, and merchandise for sale.

This year, the charity challenges companies to form teams to get their employees involved. Individuals may also form teams. Any team that raises at least $1,000 will be entered to win a $1,500 prize!
