    Over Labor Day weekend, 1999, 123 women gathered from around the world at Perris Valley Skydiving for a dual purpose: to attempt to build a Women's Freefall World Record and to raise funds for and build international awareness about breast cancer, the leading cause of death for women between the ages of 35 and 54.

    JUMP FOR THE CAUSE, the 1999 Women's World Record Attempt was the brainchild of Mallory Tarcher Lewis Hood and Brad Hood of Jump Run Productions and Kate Cooper and Tony Domenico of Square One, who formed a non-profit organization to both fund the event and to raise money for the fight against breast cancer.

    The World Record was held September 1-6 at Perris Valley Skydiving. On September 5th, at 11:52 AM, 118 women formed the largest all female freefall formation and raised almost a half-million dollars to help fight the battle against breast cancer. Their amazing feat was seen on Local and National news as well as Evening Magazine, Real TV and Good Morning America!

    It took 15 jumps, 7 airplanes, oxygen and sheer determination, but the women succeeded! Congratulations, ladies!
