The kids have surpassed our goal of 5,000. We are so very proud of them all. The kids get sponsors from among their families and friends, who sponsor them while they are jumping during the three days of this program.

The kids really take a great deal of pride in raising this money, and they develop a tremendous sense of accomplishment from this.
