Getting ready to launch


SKI JUMPERS are a rare breed who share a strong history and passion but rarely get the chance to gather and rekindle that history and passion.

SKI JUMPING in the USA is a small sport that relies heavily on its community. 

 We need to build that community.  We need to create a circle and bring every current and former ski jumper back to a home base.

 The USA SKI JUMPING STORY PROJECT looks to capture a bit of the passion that rests in each of us and use it to bring us all together.  Specifically- we want every ski jumper or fan in the US to share a short ski jumping story with us (one paragraph-max).  These stories will be posted on this blog and also delivered by email. 

 The EDITORIAL GOAL- 61 stories delivered to your in-box and posted to this blog, one per day, between November 1st and Dec 31.  It is our hope that these stories will in turn foster support for the cause and help us meet a FINANCIAL GOAL- to raise more than $10,000 from more than 500 members of our community.  To share you story, email jhastings@procutusa.com.  To share your generosity for the cause, go to http://www.active.com/donate/USASJFUNDRAISE.
