OUR Big Alaska Show 15th ANNIVERSARY!
/
Since 2006, the Big Alaska Show has celebrated its humble beginnings, (and I do mean humble!) at the Polar Bear Jump Off in Seward, Alaska, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Each year, we MC'd the Jump at the Harbor. Later that afternoon, we recorded our radio show before a live audience to honor the Top 10 Jumpers having the raised the most money that year. We aired the radio show the following week and created a podcast.
Christie Bond Hill
Meet These Veteran Jumpers
If you want to know what the spirit of Alaska is, meet these Alaskans who gathered on a January weekend to jump into the icy waters of Resurrection Bay and joined together to raise money, spirits and hope in the fight against cancer! These are the hearts of champions!
This podcast is from 2018, the Top Ten Jumper's Awards!
Vern Johnson
The 8 Balls have been jumping every year since 2001! They are known for their simple headgear! Meet a member of the team, Vern Johnson. Joining Vern is Christie Bond Hill who would have been jumping in her 22 jump had she not sustained a back injury preventing her from jumping this year. But that didn't stop Christie from participating. She's Vern's dock buddy!
Lori Nelson
Lori Nelson is jumping with the Hill Corp team. It even includes a Texan who claims if they achieve a certain donation goal, he'll jump twice. Alaskans know seeing a Texan doused twice in freezing salt water is well worth the donations and for a good cause! Meet Lori Nelson!
