Kids Included Together (KIT) will be the benefactor of an upcoming event in which participants will rappel down the side of a bay-front, high-rise hotel while raising money for the nonprofit at the same time.
Called “Over the Edge,” the event takes participants and straps them to the side of the Manchester Grand Hyatt, where they will then rappel down 33 floors.
The event will take place August 18 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
KIT is a local nonprofit that provides best practice training for local community-based organizations that provide recreational and development programs for children with or without disabilities.
Over the Edge is a professional rappelling organization that specializes in fundraising events for non-profit organizations.
Paratriathlete Champion Erica Davis (the first paralyzed woman to summit Mount Kilimanjaro) and the event’s Honorary Chair Steve Wampler will both be taking the plunge this year for the charity.
Friends, family and other supporters can watch all of the festivities for free from a special spectator lounge at the Hyatt, located at 1 Market Place, Downtown.
