 "Hey - we Jump because it was the end of the year with a wonderful residence hall staff! It was the spring and we were at a picnic for the end of the year celebrating all of our hard work! I'm the only one not totally off the ground - the RD their fearless leader." -Jeanette Marti Park in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania Add Comment  "We jump because we're enjoying our unexpected weekend trip to Philly!" - Cindy and Mindy (yes, a coincidence our names rhyme and we're amazing friends!) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Here is my original caption: 187/365: Friend Cindy And I Cindy and I have known each other for about 8-9 years now. We became friends then lost contact for a few years then suddenly found each other again and now are better friends then ever (sorry for the run-on haha). We call each other 'cow cows' for Idk reasons..we think it's cute and funny. So many memories shared..summer at Chinese School, volunteer work for NYCSP, partnered up for a singing contest, MCed together for a graduation ceremonial dinner, and of course all those fun nights spent together at the karaoke bars. Here is to add on to our collection of friendship, random weekend trip to Philly and screwing up our heart-shaped jump shot. Random cool thing is that we're both lefties and our names rhyme! Cindy and Mindy! Taken by friend Jessirae. Thanks!

 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
