2026 Long Beach Polar Bear Splash

2026 TY

A HUGE thank you to all the Participants, Donors, and Volunteers of the 2026 St. Paddy's Day Splash for another great year!

With your help, we've raised over
$550,000 (and counting)
this year for Make-A-Wish of Metro New York and Western New York!

We’re so thrilled and can’t wait another year to see you all on the beach again…so we won’t!
For the first time ever, we’ll be setting up a booth at the Boardwalk Vendor Fair hosted by the LB Chamber of Commerce:

*Please note: while the vendor fair is scheduled for both Sat and Sun, we will only be available at the SATURDAY event time. However, we do encourage you to visit both days to support as many of our local businesses and artisans as possible!

Stop down to say “hi” and grab some cool gear (...maybe even some new surprises), and let’s make 2026 a summer of wishes! See you on the boardwalk!

Select 2026 Polar Bear Gear is Still Available!

In-person sales are on summer hours: available from 12p-5pm on Tues-Fri only. Online ordering is currently on hold while we prepare for the Vendor Fair. Check back later in the season for updates.

As always, thank you for your continued love and support!

Summer Polar Bear Hours : Tues - Fri, 12pm - 5pm

The Polar Bears are motivated by camaraderie, a touch of madness and a common goal: To honor the memory of Paulie Bradley and to keep his young spirit alive in others.

The Annual Super Bowl Splash is held in honor and loving memory of young Paulie Bradley, who passed away at the age of 4 before being able to receive his wish. Through their annual, community-driven Super Bowl Splash, the Long Beach Polar Bears have helped to make hundreds of heartfelt wishes of children with critical illnesses come true.
