WHAT IS OVER THE EDGE
Heroes for Kids?
Over the Edge is an organization that supports nonprofits by running a unique and exciting rappelling event. This fundraiser benefits Voices of Courage Child Advocacy Center. It’s a fun and thrilling way for you, your company, friends or family to support children in need in our communities throughout Northwest Missouri.
For this event, participants raise $1,000 for the opportunity to rappel the 14 stories of the Corby Place building, 422 Felix Street in downtown St. Joseph. 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.
Anyone can be a participant. You just need to weigh between 100-300 pounds. You can register, create a team, volunteer, or just to donate by clicking the appropriate button below.
How does Voices of Courage use the funds raised at Over the Edge?
Every $1,000 can provide 4 Forensic Interviews. Our CAC conducted 500 interviews last year, at a cost of $125,000.
OR
Every $1,000 can provide 10 therapy sessions. Our CAC conducted 1,026 sessions last year at a cost of $102,600.
All services provided are at NO COST to the family.
Victims of crime should not have to pay for the services they need for healing to begin.
Anyone can do it!
You don’t have to be an athlete or a young, strong person to rappel. Families have gone down the side of Corby side by side. Grandparents have rappelled as their families watch from below. There is no age limit – young or older doesn’t matter as long as you weigh between 100-300 pounds – you can rappel.
