Letter from Mallory
To the ladies of JFTC:
We have a media tool available to you now to use both for gaining sponsorship and for publicizing the event and your participation in it.
Gulcin Gilbert, a JFTC participant and her production company, Warp8, have created a 2 minute promotional video utilizing footage from the 2005 record jump. This video is available now for you to use. http://www.phonics4babies.com/JumpForTheCauseMediaFootage/JumpForTheCauseMediaFootage.mov
One possible use is to contact the local news affiliate in your area and suggest they run a feature on Jump For The Cause using you “the local participant” as a hook or lead for the story. You would provide them with the DVD and press release about JFTC which would include fundraising details and some information about yourself. The station might also opt to interview you and run the DVD or parts of it in the background or to enhance the story.
The DVD may also be used to send to your potential corporate sponsors, along with your fundraising proposal to enhance your chances of success.
Please contact Adrian Davies, Event Coordinator at adriandavies@live.com to obtain a DVD.
The Montly News from Kate
July 2009
Greetings to the wonderful women of JFTC
July is upon us and we have just over two short months before we start the event of the year--Jump for the Cause.
A few reminders:
FAI Paperwork: Please send copies of your current (2009) FAI membership to Adrian Davies <."adriandavies@live.com> He is creating a book for the judges so they can have all the paperwork confirmed prior to the event. If your FAI Membership cannot be confirmed on site you will NOT be allowed to make record jumps. Sending it in early allows the judges to check it in advance.
Skydive Perris Waivers: The Skydive Perris Waivers are now available for downloading from the JFTC website. http://www.jumpforthecause.com/announcements.html (See announcement dated 1 July from Adrian for document links) Please fill these out and return to Adrian Davies <adriandavies@live.com> Fax at : 310-693-2563 All women who return Waivers and FAI paperwork to Adrian before 1 August will receive a complimentary drink ticket from Adrian personally--now THAT is an incentive!
USPA membership is required at Skydive Perris unless you hold memberships from the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Japan, Korea, South Africa, Sweden, or Switzerland. JFTC participants from countries not listed above will need to purchase a USPA membership in order to jump at Perris. If you have never joined USPA than you can purchase a temporary(90 days) membership for $20 or annual membership for $74. Anyone who has been a previous member of USPA (including prior temporary memberships) must get an annual membership for $64. JFTC apologizes for this additional costs to some of our participants, but it is a requirement that we do not have control over.
ID Badges: ID badges will go into making next week. These will include the photo that you have attached to your JFTC website profile. If you have not yet forwarded your photo (or if it is deemed unusable) then it will not be possible to incorporate it on your pre-printed ID card. You will then use an ID badge that doesn't look near as cool as the ones the rest of your teammates are using. We will not chase anyone for missing photos. Please consider it your own responsibility to have your website profile fully updated with the photo. If you cannot upload a photograph to the website then either contact Dawn Suiter <ds@dawnsuiter.com> for aid or email the photo directly to Karina Willerup <k.willerup@planet.nl>
Hotel/Jumpsuit: You all should have been in contact with Karina Willerup <k.willerup@planet.nl> about your housing during JFTC and your jumpsuit. Please don't make her chase these answers. Karina just spent a week in California with Adrian and Mallory checking out the hotels and planning so that OUR event will be as fantastic as possible.
Karina will send out a separate email next week in regards to payments for extra hotel nights and non JFTC room sharing participants.
Money: Many of you have been sending money into Doug Spesert <."dspesert@socal.rr.com> THANK YOU! Over 10% of the load has met or exceeded their minimum donation amount. That is fantastic news and puts us even closer to our goal of raising One MILLION dollars to fight Breast Cancer!
Perris Valley Skydiving has created a very exciting way to allow the general public (non jumpers) to contribute to JFTC and experience the gift of flight. They are offering a way for anyone to raise money for JFTC and receive a Tandem jump, Tunnel time--or BOTH! Contact Shazza Kindsvater <shazza@skydiveperris.com> and check the Skydive Perris website for further information. If you have friends, co workers, or family in the So Cal area this is the way to get them to join in on the JFTC fun and make a jump or do Tunnel time during the week of the event.
P3 Big Way Camp: Registration is open for the 3-6 September P3 Big Way Camp being held at Perris. This is a perfect way to polish your big way skills in a no fault format using the same aircraft and at the same dropzone hosting JFTC. http://www.skydiveperris.com/calendar/bigwaycamp0909.asp.
JFTC Documentary: Gulcin Gilbert is creating a documentary about JFTC and would like for all participants to fill out the following questionnaire and return it to her at Gulcin Gilbert <airgul@gmail.com> You can download the document at: www.jumpforthecause.com/docs09/documentary.doc
The Flying Angels embroidered chest strap cozy program http://www.jumpforthecause.com/flying_angels.html has received more orders for chest strap cozys than people to wear them. If you are willing to wear an embroidered chest strap cozy in memory of somebody's loved one who has battled cancer then please contact janet lundquist <janet@LightSourceGraphX.com> Remember the deadline for having a cozy embroidered with a love one's name is 31 August... don't delay and miss out!
Skydiving: Thank you to all the wonderful women who I've met and jumped with this summer. It's great to see the quality of women skydivers worldwide increasing every year. Remember to stay current through this summer so that you are ready to tackle the challenges of JFTC. We have a VERY ready, willing and able K plane who ARE current and will be more than happy to take any slot between now and the record jump! Don't take your slot for granted...We will need the best and strongest roster to build a new world record. If you are planning on being on that record please make sure you ARE one of the best and strongest women on the load.
Hannah Betts <hannah_betts@hotmail.com> would like to know if any women are interested in a 4/8/16 way skills camp AFTER JFTC at Perris with her and some other world class female skydivers. Please contact her directly for further information.
