Rappelling down the Crowne Plaza -- for a good cause
There was originally a Streetview embed of the Crowne Plaza, but we heard it was messing things up for some people who were using IE
This isn't your typical fundraising drive: Special Olympics New York is giving people who raise $1000 for the org the chance to rappel down the side of the Crowne Plaza in downtown Albany. From the press release for "Over the Edge:"
Approximately 100 "Edger's" will rappel 18 stories down the State Street wall of the Crowne Plaza Albany. Each participant will be required to raise a minimum of $1,000 to take part in this once in a lifetime opportunity. The chance to rappel is completely exclusive and can only be done in this area through Special Olympics New York! Our goal is to raise $100,000 for athletes across the State.
The fundraising starts today. The the Crowne Plaza descent is August 20.
