PARTICIPANTS
The average number of participants for an Over The Edge event is 65. You don't need a huge crowd with hundreds of participants to make an impact in your community!
Inclusive for Thrill-Seekers
- The majority of participants are first-time rappelers: they're from age 9 to 104, participants enjoy pushing themselves out of their comfort zone for a cause they care deeply about.
- Participants with a wide variety of special needs are able to rappel, and we strive to be as inclusive as possible.
- When you ask someone, "Would you rappel to fight cancer / feed the homeless / protect at-risk youth (i.e. support our cause)", the answer is usually "Yes!"
- Less-adventurous supporters also play a key role in sponsoring our rappelers - driving recruitment and raising awareness. We like to lovingly call them Ground Control, and they're equally as integral to our mission.
