The Polar Bears’ tradition of plunging into the frigid waters every Sunday at Noon in the Atlantic Ocean off of Newport began in the early 1920's and the New Years’ Day celebration has helped the children of A Wish Come True for several years now.    

A Wish Come True, Inc. is Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts’ oldest wish-granting organization. Celebrating 28 years of granting wishes to local children - founded in 1982 in Tiverton, RI -

A Wish Come True grants wishes to medically-qualified children ages 3 through 18 who are suffering from life threatening illnesses.  A Wish Come True receives no funding from national organizations, relying solely on the local community and events such as the Newport Polar Bears Plunge for support.
