2. Is Skydiving Safe?
Absolutely.  Statistically, skydiving is far safer than riding a bike.  You will be doing a tandem jump from 10,000 feet while attached to a professional guide who has done thousands of jumps with first timers exactly like you.  The guide will relax you and make sure that you enjoy this unforgettable experience.  Our skydiving facility, SKYFEF is the largest and most experienced in Israel.

 

3. What are the costs?
Registering and participating won’t cost you a penny.  A generous philanthropist has agreed to underwrite the cost of your participation.  All you need to do is raise a minimum of $1080 (which will purchase 60 coats for needy children) and we will provide you with the adventure of a lifetime.

 

4. What is the Leeba Fund that I will be raising money for? 
The Leeba Gavriella Fund is a non-profit organization which seeks to provide the weakest members of society with some of life’s necessities. The Fund has a wide array of charitable initiatives which serve a broad spectrum of needy individuals both in Israel and the US. Our principal efforts are focused on children and other individuals from disadvantaged economic backgrounds. You may earmark your donations for any one of the four projects listed on the "about us" page.  Every penny of the money you raise will go to someone in need without any administrative expense.

 

5. How do I raise funds?
When you register (registration is free), you will receive a personal fundraising page.  You can add your picture or a text explaining why you are participating this event and send the link to your contacts asking them to sponsor your adventure on behalf of this terrific cause.  All donations are fully tax deductible and you will receive a notification that your sponsor has donated on your behalf.  The sponsor will, of course, receive a thank you note and tax receipt.

 

6. I am concerned that I might not be able to raise the required funds. Will I be able to do it?

Even if you've never raised money before, our materials and strategies will make it easy for you to solicit and collect sponsorships from friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and others. Experience has shown that it is not only possible, but enjoyable, to set and reach your goals.  Please refer to the sample letters found on your personal fundraising page center, that explains the  programs the jump supports, and you will be surprised to see how quickly friends, family, and co-workers will respond to your request to help this wonderful cause.  Just remember to make it personal as well, as you want them to know that they are sponsoring YOU and YOUR efforts! And, as many companies offer charitable donation matching programs, make sure to ask your sponsors to check with their employers, as it will help you meet your goal ever more quickly.

 

 

8. Can I bring guests?
Absolutely.  Bring your friends and family along and let them see how brave you are.  Better yet, get them to join your adventure.  There will be kosher for Passover refreshments for everyone.
