Tell manifest you're "jumping for diabetes!"

When you register to jump and every time you visit the manifest window, be sure to let the lovely ladies know you're "jumping for diabetes." A portion of your jump cost will then go to benefit the JDRF. All you have to do is have fun and know you're supporting a great cause!

Call for sponsored jumpers

Can't be at the event? No worries. You can still help out by pledging your jumps to the cause. All you have to do is get your friends and family to sponsor your skydives ($1, $5, jump, whatever they can afford), then at the end of the weekend, tally up your jumps and collect your donations. This is a great way to support diabetes research from anywhere around the world.
