"Each time my husband and I travel away from our home in New Jersey we jump, and I must say jumping never disappoints and always ends in us laughing so hard! I jump because life is too short not to! Jumping brings out the child in everyone and I SO enjoy making others feel good! Enjoy!" - Bridget Times Square, New York, New York Add Comment  "I jump because I am happy!" - Gia Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn, New York This photo was sent in as a submission to this summer's Jump Because Challenge + Contest. The winner of the contest's submission is featured here. Jumpers were asked to submit a photo that best represents the following quote from jumping inspiration, Philippe Halsman. "When you ask a person to jump, his attention is mostly directed toward the act of jumping and the mask falls so that the real person appears."  "Darlin' I love you, but give me Park Avenue!

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
