Over the Edge is a unique and fun way for you, your company, friends or family to support Voices of Courage Child Advocacy Center.  If you like adventure and want to help support children in our communities experiencing abuse or trauma, then this event is for you!

Please join Voices of Courage on October 11, 2025 where participants are given the opportunity to rappel  down the 14 stories of the Corby Place building, 422 Felix Street in downtown St. Joseph.  It’s a beautiful fall view of the trees along the Missouri River and all of the downtown area.

Every day in our communities, children are experiencing abuse. When you consider the fear and stress these children face day after day, it has to make you wonder what you can do to help.  You can help them become a hero in their own stories and stand beside them by showing you care, you believe them and you will stand up for a safer community for them. 

To rappel during our event, participants must fundraise or donate a minimum of $1,000 by October 11, 2025 to join us in this adventure!  It’s easy to do and there are a lot of ways to raise funds.  Company matches, social media blasts, asking friends, family and co-workers are just a few of the ways to get there.  Monies raised go directly into your local communities (9 counties in Northwest Missouri) to help children heal following their trauma.

Anyone can be a participant.  You just need to weigh between 100-300 pounds (children under the age of 18 must have a caregiver’s signature to participate). You can register, create a team, volunteer, or just to donate by clicking the appropriate button below.
