The Final Polar Bear Plunge & Celebration

Take the plunge one last time! After 29 years of icy splashes, campus spirit, and unforgettable memories, join us for the 30th and final Polar Bear Plunge at the Eakin Student Recreation Center. Celebrate the legacy of this beloved ECU tradition with fellow Pirates, alumni, and friends as we close out three decades of courage, community, and cold water fun!
After you take the plunge, ECU Alumni, current and former ECU Faculty and Staff may join us for the Polar Bear Celebration at Uptown Brewery from 7 PM - 9 PM.
Tickets for any non-student will be $30 per person or $50 per couple. Your ticket includes the Polar Bear jump experience, the last polar bear t-shirt, custom polar bear playing cards, heavy hors d'oeuvres and 1 drink ticket at Uptown. Tickets will go on sale at the beginning of January.
