Start the Year with a Splash
Every New Year’s Day, members, families, and friends of Phoenix Elks Lodge #335 gather for the Annual Polar Plunge. Since its beginning in 2012, this exciting and chilly tradition has raised thousands of dollars to support the Arizona Elks Major Projects (AEMP).
The event is more than just a plunge into cold water—it’s about community, tradition, and making a difference. Together, we support life-changing initiatives for Arizona’s youth.

Benefiting Arizona Elks Major Projects
Steele Children’s Research Center

Arizona Elks Youth Camp
