Reality Changers upcoming summer fundraiser is the ultimate opportunity for thrills! On August 25, 2024 we’ll be hosting Over The Edge, an outdoor fundraising event to support first-generation college students. Participants will have the chance to rappel down the side of a 34-story building – all while supporting a great cause.
While there is a weight minimum for rappelling, there are no age limits, making this the perfect family activity for families with older kids. So long as you meet the $1,000 minimum fundraising threshold, you’ll be assigned a time to rappel.
Challenge yourself & transform lives
Over the Edge will take place at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, in downtown San Diego. This gorgeous hotel is located right on the San Diego Bay, with views of downtown. There’s nothing quite like urban rappelling – it’s a fantastic, thrilling way to see San Diego from a brand new perspective. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you might never get again!
A First Time For Everything
Never rappelled down a building before? You’re not alone. Most people who participate in Over the Edge fundraisers are first-time rappellers. This fall fundraiser was designed with safety in mind. Even the most inexperienced of rappellers can quickly master this activity. So long as you’re willing to push yourself out of your comfort zone, you’re bound to have a blast.
More than 1,000 Over the Edge events have been held across North America since 2008. Trained and certified staff ensure a safe experience every time. You’ll have a practice session to help you get warmed up, too. With the guidance of professionals, you’ll learn how to use a harness and rappel device and all the techniques necessary for a fun, safe experience.
