Jump for Diabetes is at it again this year, and we?re mixing things up a bit. Last year we realized how many people are touched by diabetes, in one way or another, but all those who wanted to take part to help the cause weren?t able to make it out to the boogie. So this year, we?re making participation a bit easier, no matter where you?re located.
Friday Aug 12 begins a country-wide pledge event, where jumpers from across the U.S. will pledge their skydives that weekend to benefit diabetes research.
To participate all you have to do is ask friends and family to sponsor your skydives for the weekend ? pledging, $1, $5, or whatever they can afford per jump. At the end of the weekend, tally up your jumps, collect the donations and feel good about helping out a great cause, simply by jumping out of airplanes ? something you?d have done anyway, right?
To make the deal even sweeter, check with your DZO and see if they?ll provide you with discounted or even free jumps for that weekend. Then, all the proceeds will go directly to the cause rather than shelling out $25 a pop. Write off for the dropzone (yes, we have a Jump for Diabetes EIN number we can share to ensure a tax write off) and you get free skydives with a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing you?re doing something good for an incredible cause. Win, win, win!
If you?re in the Chicago area, we?ll be doing a canopy raffle on Aug 14th, along with some other fun prizes. First prize takes home a free custom Performance Designs main (non-cross braced) or reserve canopy and we?ll be drawing for some other fun stuff as well. Tickets are $25 each or 6 for $100. Don?t miss out!
Love and Blue Skies!
