About

Founded by breast cancer survivor and avid skydiver Marian Sparks, Jump for the Rose (JFTR) is a grassroots skydiving organization dedicated to raising funds for The Rose, a non-profit breast cancer clinic in Houston, Texas that screens and treats thousands of women annually regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. In its brief history, the group has hosted two successful Women’s Texas State Records and earned two National Women’s Sequential Skydiving records and earned a Women’s World Record in 2014. To date, JFTR has raised nearly $85,000 for The Rose.
