About OHEL XTREME OVER THE EDGE
|
OHEL Xtreme! Presents OVER THE EDGE event on Monday August 31, 2015 at the Heritage Capital Group building in Newark, New Jersey! OHEL Xtreme! gives participants the opportunity for an Xtreme Challenge to rappel down a 20 story building (about 245 ft.) in a completely safe and controlled environment.
At OHEL, we serve individuals that struggle every day with different life challenges. From extreme circumstances (crises) to day-to-day challenges, OHEL is there to support our community. OHEL Xtreme! is your chance to do something Xtreme! (not like all those people who run marathons...kidding!), to attain impressive bragging rights (Hey, see that building over there? Yeah, I rappelled down it.), to check something off your bucket list (if it's not on your list, it should be). OHEL Xtreme! will have an Xtreme impact on the lives of the children and adults with disabilities.
With the help of trained and certified rappelling experts, you will spend the most adrenaline packed (but completely safe) 20 minutes of your life rappelling down the side of the Heritage Capital Group building in Newark, New Jersey, overlooking the skyline of Manhattan. As an OHEL Xtreme! Edger, you can expect: |
