I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go? I'm goin' to some place where I've never been before. I'm goin', I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine. Well, I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine. You can JUMP in the water and stay drunk all the time. I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away. I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away. All this fussin' and fightin', man you know I sure can't stay. Now baby, packin' up the truck you know I got to leave today. Just exactly where I'm goin' I can not say, but we might even leave the USA. It's a brand-new game and I don't wanna play. No use of you running or screaming and crying But you got a home man, long as I got mine.  "We jump for potlucks, food banks, friends, Isis, and gold streamers!" - Paula and J.M.

 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).
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
