The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Abilene raise a total of $42,000 this weekend on their third annual Over the Edge event.
The rappelling took place at the Enterprise building, which is 20 stories high. 260 feet to be exact.
With the funds, this mentoring agency can continue their mission, pairing volunteers with a child from the community.
"All funds from this event stay local and fund matches that last a year to three, hopefully even longer, and change some kid’s life for the better, forever,” says the director of public relations/ recruiting, Megan Tolle.
The goal is to raise $50,000, so the fundraising window will remain open throughout October.
