If rappelling off a building is on your bucket list, you can help raise funds for Jackson House while checking it off your list.
Fundraising can sometimes be a tall task, but on October 20 and 21, Jackson House (JH) will once again take fundraising to new heights with “Over the Edge,” an innovative rappelling event in downtown Hot Springs. The event will see 92 thrill-seeking participants rappel four stories. Each participant must raise a minimum of $1,000 in 100% tax-deductible donations for Jackson House.
“Training and rappelling take about 2 hours but you will want to stay longer in the Court Street Family Zone with various school spirit groups performing and lots of fun planned,” stated Tammy Jones, Assistant Director of JH.
“We are so excited to launch the second annual ‘Over The Edge’ for Jackson House. We look forward to this annual fun time in our gorgeous downtown benefitting those we serve in our community,” Jones continued.
The event is open to all ages. Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian, and all participants must be within the 100 to 300-pound required weight range.
