 "I jump with a sword and helmet because every picture jumper should be prepared to jump in any condition, should there even be a war to fight." - Sly (www.wherethehellissly.com) Devin Castle Bratislava, Slovakia Add Comment  "Jump and the net will appear..." ...is the motto of Jump Organization, a "non-profit organization dedicated to implement projects focused on human rights and environmental protection.

We're celebrating with a Potluck for a Cause to benefit the Central Virginia Food Bank. The vision of the Central Virginia Food Bank (CVFB) is "…that none shall go hungry." The CVFB is looking for the following donations: non-perishable food items (in cans, boxes, etc.), especially peanut butter; canned tuna, salmon, chicken & ham; canned fruits and vegetables; hot and cold cereals; pasta and rice. Are there any causes you feel passionately about? Send your Jump for a Cause idea to us at jumpbecause@gmail.com!  Jump Because wants to give a shout-out to Chris and his 88 in 888 blog. In his own words... "I have decided to create an "88 in 888" list, which isn't the usual structure for this type of thing. The reason I chose this is simply because I wanted to choose a significant day to set as the deadline. The day...my 30th birthday! Dun Dun Dunnnnnnnnn!!!! Anyway, "88 in 888" is much less depressing than "Things to do before I'm 30." Anyway, if you couldn't figure it out, this list is comprised of 88 things I want to do in the next 888 days (starting 9/14/2010)." Check out his jumps here: http://claplist.weebly.com/jump.html  "I jump with what is now called a "Deer Jumping Style" because I'm pretty sure no one had done that before. And it's always good to be the first one! :-)." -Sly http://www.wherethehellissly.com/ Terej National Park, Mongolia "It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap." -Stephen Schwartz Defying Gravity - Wicked  I jump because... "no animals were hurt during this session." -Yann Gooseberry Mesa, near St George, Utah  "I jump because next month I turn 27 and my life is nothing like I planned it out to be. And I have never been so happy." -Mary Beth Laguna Beach, California  "I jump in front of the Bean because the airline had lost my luggage on the way to Chicago. Without the heavy luggage, I was free to wander the city without constraint, jumping everywhere." - Sly: www.wherethehellissly.com Chicago, Illinois "Jumping" from INXS's album "INXS" A subset of the lyrics from "Jumping" Say when you get down Look to your left Say when you get up Look to your right Figure out the puzzle Make sure the pieces fit tight Jumping jumping All night long Jump and jump and it's up to you. | Welcome to Jump Because!

 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 was interviewed for the Michigan State University Alumni Magazine (Winter 2010 issue, p. 15).
