Let’s Go Over the Edge!

Have a fear of heights that you wish to conquer or are you a thrill seeker? Then come join us on December 1, 2017 and go Over the Edge! Participants will get to rappel down 25 stories on the side of Benson Tower in New Orleans, ride in a helicopter, and S.W.A.T. train at the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s training facility.

Too scared to rappel? Then donate to an edger and help them reach their goal for Special Olympics Louisiana. Or, you can make General Donation for the athletes that are participating in the event!
