The first breast cancer fund-raising event hosted
by Jump For The Cause and supported by a global
community of female skydivers was in 1999.
Subsequent Breast Cancer fund-raising events have
been held in 2002 and 2005.

The cumulative amount raised in these 3 events
was about 1,000,000!In 2005, the amount
partially funded a new laboratory for the City of
Hope Hospital and Cancer Research Institute.

City of HopeResearch, Treatment, and Educational
Institution

• The National Cancer Institute has designated City
  of Hope as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. Only
  40 institutions have this prestigious
  designation.
• Their primary focus is cancer, diabetes, and
  HIV/AIDS.
  
• Because they are both an independent medical
  hospital and a research institution, the barriers
  that stand between research and patient are
  reduced. In other words, there is less time
  between treatment development and patient
  treatment.
• Not only do they research and treat, they educate
  the public on how to have proactive lifestyles
  that help prevent life-threatening diseases.
