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.

Things to know

Age: Participants must be a minimum of 14 years old. All individuals under the age of 18 must have a waiver signed by a legal guardian in person at the event at registration.

Weight: Participants must weigh between 100 and 300 pounds.

No prior experience needed

Professional and experienced Over The Edge staff members will teach you everything for a safe and amazing rappelling experience.

Schedule your rappel

 When you have raised the $1,000 fundraising minimum, you can schedule your rappel by reaching out to Leslie Moyar at 919-210-0966. You can secure your rappel spot now by filling out the credit card guarantee form.

You can create a team

Teams must meet the minimum per person for each team member to rappel.

For a two-person team: If one team member raises $1,500 and the second team member raises $500 for a total of $2,000, then both members get to go Over The Edge.

Represent your school

NEW: Schools can participate in the Sky High for Schools Challenge! The school that raises the most money will win a GRAND PRIZE package from the Carolina Hurricanes. See more here.
