2026 polar Plunge

Thank you to Chelsea Michael Photography for capturing the energy and joy of this unforgettable day at Higgs Beach in Key West! Nearly 150 people took the plunge with us for our 16th annual Conch Republic Polar Plunge. Together, with our business sponsors, donors, volunteers and staff we raised awareness and close to $17,000 in support of our programs that serve women and families throughout the Florida Keys.

We’re incredibly grateful to all of our plungers and everyone who helped make this event such a success!

Thank you!

What an incredible performance by The Phil Collins Experience last night at the Key West Theater! We are so grateful for their generous support and for their fourth year of giving back to Samuel’s House by donating 100% of the proceeds from their merchandise sales to support our mission.

Their commitment to honoring Phil Collins through music and giving back to homeless shelters along their country-wide tour is truly inspiring. We are deeply thankful to be included and supported as a beneficiary in such a meaningful way.
