Over the Edge—Presented by SunTrust Bank
Chattanooga, TN…RiverRocks and the Boy Scouts of America Cherokee Area Council announce a unique and exciting addition to the RiverRocks 2012 schedule. Presented by SunTrust Bank, this thrilling event on October 4 and 5 will give participants the chance to rappel 20 stories from the top of the SunTrust Bank building on Market Street.
The Chattanooga SunTrust Building, owned and operated by the Simpson Organization, is one of the tallest buildings in Chattanooga. This event kicks off the RiverRocks 2012 schedule, happening from October 5-14, and includes a media day on Thursday, October 4, with the event day taking place on October 5 for rappellers from the community, called Edgers, none of whom need have any rapelling experience.
Over the Edge—presented by SunTrust Bank is a unique fundraising event that has helped non-profits across North America for almost ten years now, and its spotless safety record paired with its breathtaking rappelling challenge has both RiverRocks and Boy Scouts of America excited to offer this opportunity to willing participants. Those Edgers who wish to take part in the adrenaline-pumping rappel of 20 stories will commit to raising $1,000 in donations, and those who manage to raise more will start receiving incentive packages around the $1,500 and $2,000 level.
It is even possible to get your boss or a local celebrity in on the fun through initiating a “Toss Your Boss” campaign with your co-workers or by raising money to dare a celebrity or politician to take the dizzying challenge!
Past participants, from age 18 to 86, have included everyone from team mascots up to CEOs, with no previous rappelling experience necessary. Over the Edge is an event that is a fun and amazing experience for anyone to enjoy while raising money for Boy Scouts of America and helping RiverRocks continue its mission of supporting local land conservation efforts.
WRCB-TV Channel 3, Clear Channel Media and the Chattanooga Times Free Press are media partners in the excitement and will send some on-air personalities Over the Edge.
Jaguar Land Rover of Chattanooga is also proud to be a Lead Sponsor.

I got all excited over this because I thought it said we could toss out Bob over the edge. He might could get some interesting pictures, eh?
