Every January in Seward, hundreds of brave souls in costumes and swimsuits take the plunge into the near-freezing waters of Resurrection Bay — all for a great cause. The annual Polar Bear Jump-Off raises money for the American Cancer Society and the Kenai Peninsula Children with Cancer Grant Program, supporting families facing childhood cancer right here in Alaska. Whether you jump in yourself or cheer from the dock, this beloved winter tradition is one of the most uniquely Alaskan weekends of the year.
