Poker4Charity / Game for Life Charity Parachute Jump Procedures
All Game for Life Charity Jumps are organised by Skydive Zone –
www.skydivezone.co.ukSkydive Zone recommend that all first time charity jumpers opt for the Tandem Freefall option to provide for the most enjoyable and thrilling experience.
Jumps take place on Saturdays.
Jumpers select the date they wish to jump on and the location at which they wish to jump. If people wish to jump on the same date at the same location this is not a problem.
Game for Life receives a MINIMUM of £140 / jump.
The cost of the jump is £375 including the MINIMUM £140 charity contribution
How it works:
Prospective jumper requests an application pack from Andy at Skydive Zone by emailing
jump@skydivezone.co.uk quoting Game for Life.
Andy will then dispatch an application to jump form. The jumper then completes the form and returns it to Andy along with a deposit of £70. You can reimburse yourself this amount with your sponsor money, once collected.
On receipt of the deposit Game for Life will issue the sponsorship form. The sponsorship forms are not normally issued until after the deposit as an anti-fraud measure. However those supporters known to us can get their sponsorship forms in advance (from Tuesday).
Jumper is then free to start obtaining sponsorship.
One week prior to the jump the minimum £140 donation to charity needs to be paid to Skydive Zone. You may need to pay this yourself until you collect your sponsor money, therefore, for your convenience, this cheque can be post-date for up to 1 month so you are able to reimburse yourself. If there are difficulties with this contact Poker4Charity / Game for Life, we may be able to help.
You attend the parachute centre to complete your jump. At this time you will pay the balance of your jump fee directly to the parachute centre, unless stated otherwise in your confirmation letter.
After your jump contact Skydive Zone and they will forward the sponsorship money to Game for Life without delay. Any excess sponsorship money over the minimum £140 should also be sent to Skydive Zone for passing on to Game for Life.
All successful jumpers will receive a Game for Life / Skydive Zone certificate.
Please note that ALL costs of the jump itself can be reimbursed as long as the £140 minimum is paid to Game for Life.
