On January 17th, The Polar Bear Jump was held again on Goodyear Lake. This remarkable project, organized by Jamie Waters and family, saw 165 jumpers brave the icy waters and raise over $30,000 for needy causes. Well done!! This year, with permission from the organizers, the Goodyear Lake Association sold our centennial apparel from a booth at the jump site. Photos of the volunteers are shown below:
