The 16 th Annual PolaRotary Bear Plunge video is now available for your viewing pleasure:
Filmed and produced by The Rim of the World High School Audio/Visual Club, this exciting production is now available for your viewing pleasure at no charge.
Click on the bottom below to view this wonderful
production featuring Rim High Students interviewing and interacting
with the brave jumpers who sacrifice their bodies by jumping into the
freezing cold waters of Lake Arrowhead on February 1, 2025 to support
their favorite worthy charities, most of which are mountain
organizations including the Mt. Communities Hospital Foundation, Rim
Educational Foundation, Rim Historical Foundation, Rotary, the Blue Jay
Jazz Foundation, who won the costume contest. See the costumed
jumpers as they dive into the freezing cold water to the cheers of over
100 spectators on the shores of the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa.
The Rotary Club of Lake Arrowhead hosts the annual PolaRotary Bear
Plunge, which over the past 16 years has raised over one-half million
dollars. Mountain charities are the biggest benefactors of the money
generated by the event. Teams of jumpers representing their favorite
charity collect donations from donors who want to support the charity
or just want to see their “friends” Go Jump In The Lake. For information
about becoming a “jumper” or to support a participating charity Google
Lake Arrowhead PolaRotary Bear Plunge.
Next Years Plunge will be on February 7, 2026.
