Add Comment    This one goes out to one of our fellow jump becausers. We jump because it's her birthday... Happy day of birth, Sarah! :)  "The story behind that jumping picture is that they just love a jump shot as a group. Heraldo Filipino is the official newspaper of DLSU-D in the Philippines and those people in the pic are the editorial board members for the year 2007-2008. And yeah, after the jump, they all had a laugh on the result." - Dustin, photographer  "I jump because there's nothing better than trying to jump in three inch heels and a prom dress with your best friends." - Emily and fellow jumpers    "We jump because it's memorial day! We jump for Papa Bill and Konrad! We also jump for summer, frogs, the river, and new friends!" - Guy, Caroline, Hannah, Sarah, Paula, Erin, Sarah, Trevor, Rick, Joren, Rob, and J.M.  Pre-jump...  "We jump because we are proudly 4th and 10, a super social co-ed football team. We jump because we look like bananas, but we're not. We jump because we just finished our season with a perfect 0-7 record... because winning isn't everything, and we're living proof."  In preparation...  "We jump because we love the summer and we jump for the beauty of the river. We jump for Virginia forests, forestry, and foresters. | 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).
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
