Thank you for supporting Juneau Jumpers

The Juneau Jumpers would like to offer an enthusiastic and heartfelt thank you to the coaches, community sponsors and parents who helped make their 31st season a great success. The Juneau Jumpers program is a supportive, safe, healthy and fun environment for youth in third grade through high school who are willing to put forth the effort and the dedication to practice, learn, teach and perfect jump rope and gymnastic skills; it promotes a healthy lifestyle, teamwork as well as personal development.

The Juneau Jumpers finished their 31st season with a spring show for the community where jumpers displayed their awesome jumping talents, including a glow rope routine, along with other exciting jump rope skills and routines.

At the show there was a silent auction featuring some fantastic homemade desserts and creative baskets, designed and donated by team families. Thank you to all of the parents and volunteers who helped to put the show on and to the community for showing your appreciation for the Juneau Jumper program by attending the show.

The Juneau Jumpers team exists because of the willingness of a few dedicated people who put in numerous hours of volunteer time, especially by our dedicated coaching staff. The team wishes to thank Karen Ross for donating her time and energy to make this program a success. In addition, we wish to thank all of the team’s families who donate their time and energy through the season and provide support to their talented team members. We also wish to thank Glacier Valley School for continuing to allow us to use their facilities to hold our practices, as they generously have for the past 30 years!

We wish to offer special thanks to our raffle donors: Alaska Airlines, NorthStar Trekking, Allen Marine Tours, Coastal Helicopters, Dr. Jared Lee Dentistry, True North Credit Union and Heidi Lynn Photography. Thank you to Papa Murphy’s for generously donating a coupon to the back of our raffle tickets. The generous support of these sponsors helps raise money for team competitions, uniforms, travel and on-going team sportsmanship and development.

Juneau Jumpers is partially funded by the citizens of the City and Borough of Juneau through sales tax revenues.

Juneau Jumpers Board Members: Lisa Worden, Heidi Richards-Mazon, John
