Breast Cancer Awareness Month Partnership Between Indoor Trampoline Park Franchise and Giuliana Rancic Proves to be a Great Success

November 05, 2014 // Franchising.com // LOS ANGELES - Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park, creator of the world's first all-walled trampoline playing court, raised over $80,000 last month for Giuliana Rancic's foundation FAB-U-WISH in partnership with The Pink Agenda. The company's first system wide charity initiative was a high-flying success, and the money raised will fund cancer research and grant life-changing wishes to breast cancer patients.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, over 70 participating Sky Zone parks across the United States and Canada offered limited edition pink SkySocks instead of the traditional orange ones, and a percentage of all proceeds were donated to the foundation. As generous jumpers flocked to their local Sky Zone parks to support the cause, the amount of donations quickly skyrocketed.

"Giving back to the community has always been a core part of our company culture, but this was our first system wide effort involving nearly every Sky Zone location," said Jeff Platt, president and CEO of Sky Zone LLC. "The campaign's incredible success just proves how much can be accomplished when you work together on a larger scale, and the generosity and kind-heartedness of our guests has really wowed me."

"Partnering with Sky Zone to raise money for my foundation has been an incredibly wonderful experience," said Giuliana Rancic, founder of FAB-U-WISH. "Each pink SkySock donation will make a difference in someone's life, and I'm so thankful to all of the Sky Zone jumpers that contributed to the cause. Giving back for Breast Cancer Awareness Month is very important to me, and I'm so glad I could be involved in this successful effort to fight the disease that has affected so many lives."
