Jump. Because.

jumpbecause

philosophy

Why jumping? Just because.

history

It all started with a group of friends, a jump, and a photograph.

vision

We have found that jumping leads to laughter...
It is our hope that the jumping will be passed on and that others will feel the joy of the jump. We want to share your jumping pictures and hear your jumping stories. What is a jumping story? It's your "I jump because..." statement: the inspiration for your jump.

jump because on public radio

Last spring, one of our jumpbecause founders was interviewed on public radio about our jumping. The interview aired April 26, 2008 on a show called Weekend America which covers "what's happening in America this weekend." Here is her Jump Because story on Weekend America:

"In this photo, three friends of mine are jumping behind the campfire at our camping trip at Pocahontas State Park. It kind of started randomly one weekend. We went to the beach and decided to jump around. It made us all laugh and it was something we wanted to keep doing in different places and document us jumping. All of us are graduate students and it's just something that started spontaneously and made us feel young, happy, free, or whatever it is that the jumping does. It really does change your state of mind."

jump because on Buttermilk and Molasses

The 4 of us who started Jump Because were recently interviewed by a fellow Richmonder for his blog, Buttermilk and Molasses. We are very grateful for the support we've received from people both within and outside of our community, and hope you'll check out our interview, dated September 30, 2008.
