Supporters Rappel 17 Floors for Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona Over The Edge event coming Sat. Nov. 11
November 7, 2023 (Tucson, Arizona) -- Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona (GSSOAZ) announce the Over The Edge event scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 11, 2 – 10 p.m. at the 5151 building on East Broadway Boulevard. In partnership with Over The Edge, a professional event and rappelling organization, adults and Girl Scouts will rappel 17 stories down one of the tallest commercial buildings in Tucson. Each rappeller will fundraise $1,000 individually, and all proceeds support the GSSOAZ-led programs and opportunities for Girl Scouts.
As the largest leadership organization for girls worldwide, Girl Scouts unlock opportunities that lie at the edge of their comfort zone. Over The Edge gives individuals a unique opportunity to achieve personal growth, a sense of accomplishment and overcome their own personal fear: all in support of girls in our community.
“Over the Edge is an exciting opportunity for not only our rapellers, but our Girl Scout community. Each day, Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona strives to show girls how to accomplish the unexpected and reach new heights. We are grateful for our rapellers and inspired by their courage. With Over the Edge, we can show the community how Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona and Over the Edge empowers girls to achieve their goals, however intimidating they might initially seem,” said Kristen Garcia-Hernandez, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona.
Rapellers are encouraged to set up their own fundraising page, where you can follow along in their journey and participate by donating to their fundraising goal here.
Thanks to the generous support of top sponsors Desert Diamond Casino, TMC Health, and Geico Tucson, Over the Edge is able to return for its eighth year.
“I’m honored to be partnering with the Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona again for this year’s event. The addition of the nighttime component this year assures an exciting and engaging fundraiser, and helps the Girls Scouts advance the organization’s goal in our community.” said Mark Isenberger, Property Manager for sponsor 5151 E. Broadway.
