Skydivers are Superheroes

Project XRW: April 23, 2010

Who We Are

Raise the Sky is a registered, 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to connect members of the worldwide sport skydiving community to humanitarian and charitable causes. We also promote a transformative, positive public image of skydivers as superheroes who give back to their communities.

We organize events, vet charities, manage media outreach, and support skydivers who want to make the world a better place through the promotional and inspirational power of human flight. We are committed to growing sport skydiving in new ways and telling its best stories to a wider public audience.

What We Do

Our team was the driving force behind the US National Wingsuit Record in 2009, which raised funds to keep kids in school through the dedicated work of City Year and got extensive media coverage on every major network television station and every major skydiving print publication in the world. We designed and organized Project XRW, where canopy pilot Jonathan Tagle flew and docked with wingsuit pilot Jeff Nebelkopf, generating exposure for Operation Freefall and making the cover of both Parachutist and Paramag magazines. We also organize the annual tonto Boogie, a charity and skydiving event in partnership with the Johannesburg Skydiving Club in South Africa.
