Special Olympics North Carolina Weather Statement for Over The Edge 2022

The Special Olympics North Carolina Over The Edge event scheduled for October 1, 2022, in Raleigh has been postponed due to the uncertainty of severe weather from Hurricane Ian. The new date is Saturday, December 3, 2022, at the same 150 Fayetteville Street location in Raleigh. We will contact participants about the December 3 schedule soon. There will be no need for participants to re-register for this new date.

We make this decision with great consideration of everyone’s safety because it is our top priority. We appreciate everyone’s understanding of this decision to reschedule and are grateful for the support of our building host Highwoods Properties, and the Over The Edge staff.

Participants who already had scheduled rappel times for the October 1 event date will keep that same rappel time for December 3, unless they have received communication stating otherwise. Please email Leslie Moyar to confirm your rappel time!

INCLEMENT WEATHER STATEMENT

In the event of inclement weather, we may need to cancel this event and unfortunately, we are unable to provide a refund. We appreciate your donation to Special Olympics North Carolina. See the Over The Edge weather policy here.

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!
