 "I jump for beautiful Sundays and ducks at the pond!" -Diana  "Sean jumps for boating and escaping from NYC!" - submitted by Caroline  Ju-Jean jumps for his first week in the US and Pepe's Pizza!   "We jump because life sometimes feels like an indie movie, and must be captured in appropriate indie-movie style. These jumps are from the end of our hike to the top of East Rock, and reminded me of the screaming that took place at the end of the rock quarry scene in Garden State. Minus the garbage bag attire, of course ;). Jump for life as an indie film!" -Paula and Marcus  "I jumped to try something new... the floating jumping bean! This picture was taken at the top of East Rock in New Haven - it was a very cold day, and jumping helped to warm things up!" -Paula  "We jumped to continue the bachelorette party celebration that began the night before. This is a jump dedicated to good friends and the Elm City. New Haven... 'It All Happens Here!'" -Paula | 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 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
