The Long Beach Polar bears are motivated by camaraderie, a touch of madness and common goal: To honor the memory of Paulie Bradley and to keep his young spirit alive in others.
On February 7th, 2016, on Super Bowl Sunday, the Long Beach Polar Bears held their 17th Super Bowl Splash benefiting Make-A-Wish foundation, honoring in the loving memory of young Paulie Bradley, who passed away at the age of 4 before being able to receive his wish. Our own Evan Simmons was among these daring and caring people who jumped in the ocean for a good cause.
Through their annual, community-driven Super Bowl Splash, the Long Beach Polar Bears have helped to make hundreds of heartfelt wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions come true. They have raised over $4.8 million since the first jump in 2000.
