 JUMP FOR THE CAUSE:
THE 1997-98 STAR OF DAVID
FORMATIONS

On April 17th, 1998, 48 skydivers arrived from all around the country with two goals in mind:

  1. to build a 6 pointed star (Mogen David) 6000 feet above the earth and
  2. to raise money to support the Family Violence Project, a non-profit group of Battered Women's Shelters.

They accomplished both- in spades! The jumpers successfully completed 4 Star of David formations and raised almost $20,000 dollars in donations. This was the second year that the event was held. Year one, in 1997, netted $11,612 for the charity.

The event was both a memorial for skydiver Kelly Moorland, who was killed by her abusive husband in 1997, as well as a celebration of Passover and the 50th anniversary of Israel.

Aerial footage, ground footage, and stills photographs are available.
