On Saturday, February 18, 2023, Big Water Marina and Campground will host its second annual polar bear jump into Lake Hartwell to raise awareness and funds for the Anderson County Red Fez Shrine Club. Organizers hope to beat previous years’ fundraising efforts and generate a strong sense of community during the day’s event.
The day will kick off at 10:00 AM with day-of registration & check-in for the polar bear jump, and the participants will plunge into Lake Hartwell at 10:00 AM. Registration for the polar bear jump is $30, and the event is open to the public. Any interested participants may visit the link for the event waiver below and send a completed version, along with registration payment, to [email protected]. All polar jumpers will receive a complimentary t-shirt and medal to commemorate the event.
As an additional contribution from Big Water Marina and Campground, there will be a raffle for a free half-day pontoon rental. Anyone attending or participating in the event is eligible to participate in the raffle(s) by purchasing tickets for $1/each. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Anderson County Red Fez Shrine Club, and more event details can be found by visiting the Facebook event page linked below.
