Do You Fancy Yourself Hanging off a Building ala Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible?

Rappelling down a building for charity - no problem!

Now’s your chance! 

On Friday, September 27, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Boy Scouts of America, LA Council, hosts “Over the Edge IV,” a thrilling fundraising event that allows you to rappel 26 stories down the side of the famous Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.  View the trailer here. More than 158 “Edgers” have raised over $300,000 for Scouting programs in Los Angeles to help more inner city kids enjoy the scouting experience.

It’s a great experience for office teams who want to challenge each other or even “toss their boss” over the edge.  Or maybe it’s Malibu Garden Club,  Malibu Chamber of Commerce or another group challenge.  My husband Marshall Thompson is going for it.  So should you!

It’s fun, exciting and no experience is necessary. You only need to be over 18 years old, weigh less than 300 pounds and commit to raising at least $1,000.
