Be part of history as we launch our [placeholder], unveil our plan to end childhood obesity, and introduce the program that enables everyone to contribute to a definitive, collective victory.
We primarily serve children at risk of obesity and chronic disease, families seeking healthier habits, and organizations looking to integrate proven wellness programming into their communities.
Anthony Alegrete and Branden Collinsworth, two friends who shared a deep passion for helping youth, founded Jump for Joy Foundation to help children find confidence, movement, and purpose.
Prevention works when it's enjoyable, consistent, and shared, which is why we create free, high-energy community programs that make fitness fun, bring families together, and turn healthy living into a lifestyle.
We operate under four core beliefs: every child should have the chance to live a healthy life; lasting change comes from consistent, practical action; real wellness starts with families and communities working together, and preventing obesity is more effective than treating chronic disease later.
Our decision-making is guided by three principles: we base our positions on evidence, we ground our words in empathy, and we align our actions with the best interests of our beneficiaries.
Our organization is non-political and non-religious. We focus solely on preventing childhood obesity. We welcome support from all backgrounds to promote health and wellness for all Americans.
Our Board of Directors consists of Anthony Alegrete as President; Branden Collinsworth as Vice President; Loriel Alegrete as Treasurer; William Wong as Secretary
Our Executive Team consists of Anthony Alegrete as Executive Director; Branden Collinsworth as Program Director; Loriel Alegrete as Director of Advocacy; and William Wong as Technology Director.

We seek individuals who share our commitment to improving the health and well-being of children and families. Ideal Board Members believe in prevention through education, action, and community engagement. They demonstrate integrity, leadership, and strategic vision, and bring expertise in areas such as health and wellness, youth development, education, community advocacy, marketing, or finance.
Every major decision begins with committee research, reviewed by the Communications Committee for mission alignment, assessed by the Executive Team for risk and impact, and then recommended to the Board for approval or rejection.
Our conflict resolution process is grounded in a Mission-First principle, encouraging direct, confidential resolution between parties while keeping our mission as the central focus. If conflicts remain unresolved, they escalate through a structured mediation process.
Our mission to end childhood obesity follows a clear path: expand Camp J.U.M.P. to major cities, collaborate with industry leaders through a unified coalition, launch a national conference, and integrate our model into education systems and policy for lasting impact.
We focus on four key initiatives: expanding Camp J.U.M.P. across the nation, strengthening collaboration through the F.I.T. Coalition, transforming youth through the T.E.A.M. Program, and uniting leaders and families at the annual J.U.M.P. Conference.
Our core initiatives were chosen for their direct alignment with our mission, their ability to fill critical gaps in youth wellness, their scalability through strategic partnerships, and their potential to deliver measurable, lasting impact.
We assess each initiative by measuring real health outcomes, analyzing data to guide improvement, and determining how effectively every program moves us closer to ending childhood obesity.
Our fundraising strategy centers on five key channels: leveraging the collective strength of the Jump Coalition, securing corporate sponsorships, engaging individual donors, empowering Board members through Give or Get commitments, and pursuing grants from aligned foundations and agencies.
Our donor communication strategy focuses on transparency, measurable impact, consistent updates, and authentic engagement through events, reports, and personalized outreach that keep supporters connected to the movement they help create.
Our partnerships and alliances strategy focuses on building a trusted network of schools, community organizations, sports leagues, businesses, and health professionals who share our commitment to reducing childhood obesity and creating sustainable, family-centered wellness solutions.
