  "I jump because I'm SO STAR STRUCK CHERRY CHERRY BOOM BOOM So my L.A. trip has kicked off to a GREAT start already. After some (THREE hour) drama of me forgetting my Credit Card (yup mascara is NOT the only thing I forgot) my wasted time was made well worth it when ummmmm I HAD MY ULTIMATE CELEB SIGHTING!!! BRITNEY FREAKING SPEARS (with her mom and kids)!! Can you believe that!? And I wouldn't even call it a sighting I would say ENCOUNTER!! Please excuse my caps and excess exclamation points BUT I am still FREAKING out!! lol. Can I just tell you how hard it is to keep calm when you are within a few feet of the not only the biggest pop star, but umm your idol!??? Needless to say between that sighting and my fantastic Alice and Wonderland-esque hotel that Wendy found, my trip is off to a great start!?" -Amber Check out Amber's original post at: http://www.ambersnotebook.com/2010/01/grove-slam-work-it-back-filter-that.html Los Angeles, California Christmas on January 7th - Jump! 02/14/2010

 In November of 2011, we asked jumpers to submit a photo that kept the spirit of Thanksgiving and this quote in mind:
"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." -Thornton Wilder This photo above, sent in by Rick from Utah, was chosen as the winner of this JB Challenge + Contest! His submission features his family, who was celebrating their first Christmas together in 5 years. As Rick put it, "That was a moment worth jumping." The complete story behind the jump and the original post can be viewed here. Current Favorite Jump:
A wonderful JumpBecause story: Jump Because... For a Cause!
In June 2010, JumpBecause hosted a Potluck-for-a-Cause fundraiser to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. People brought amazing food, made fun crafts, participated in a raffle, and listened to great local music... and of course JUMPED! Check out the highlights of our fundraiser on the "Causes" page.  Jump Because in MSU Alumni Magazine
Jump Because was interviewed for the Michigan State University Alumni Magazine (Winter 2010 issue, p. 15).
One of Jump Because's founders attended MSU as an undergraduate and we're all proud to see JB featured among other Spartan news!  Jump Because in
