Why is Over The Edge important to us?

You may be wondering what rappelling down a skyscraper has to do with Special Olympics and the answer is simple. If you are a person with intellectual disabilities, you encounter adversities daily.

You must have courage to try something that doesn’t come easily to you. Our athletes bravely face challenges on the field, in the pool and on the court. They are the inspiration for this event.

Take your support for Special Olympics North Carolina to new heights!

HOW?

Raise a minimum of $1,000 for Special Olympics North Carolina by the event date.
