High Falls for Small Paws is taking fundraising to new heights! Sponsored by Pat’s Body Shop, this exciting tandem skydiving event benefits the Humane Society of Marathon County and gives participants the chance to experience the thrill of a 13,000-foot jump while supporting animals in need. Think of it like a polar plunge — but instead of jumping into cold water, you’ll be jumping into thin air!

Here’s how it works: participants sign up by email or phone, then begin collecting donations for their jump. Jumpers who raise $51–$350 in donations pay the full jump price of $249. Those who raise $351–$550 pay half, and anyone who raises more than $550 in donations jumps for free. Participants who prefer not to collect donations, or who raise under $50, may still jump for $299. Weekday tandem jumps are $229, weekend tandem jumps are $249, and prices reflect a 3% cash discount.

The jump-out date is scheduled for August 1, with a rain date of August 8. All donations and jumping fees must be paid by Friday, July 24. Transportation will be provided, departing from Pat’s Body Shop at 6:00 a.m. the day of the jump. This will be an all-day event, so participants are encouraged to pack a lunch; coolers will be provided. Dinner will follow at El Tequila Salsa.

Spots are limited, so email today to sign up and start raising donations for a great cause. Whether you’re jumping, donating, or helping spread the word, your support helps make a difference for the animals at the Humane Society of Marathon County.
