Broadening the Reach

Last year’s pledge event drew participants who have the disease, as well as family members who jumped for those who couldn’t. This year, CCFA will host “Jumping Blue Beans” in five locations: Farmingdale, N.J., Sebastian, Fla., Chicago, Las Vegas and Houston. According to Koman, about 60 people already had signed up at press time, 40 shy of CCFA’s goal of 100 jumpers and $100,000 in donations for all five events.
