Hi everyone. If you're not doing anything July 8, 2014 we could really use some belayers. This is the Over the Edge event to help raise funds for the Make a Wish Foundation for the kids. For those of you that don't know the Make a Wish Foundation is a non profit organization that raises money for sick/dying kids to help them get their life long wish. This upcoming event will be held at the Barclay Centre on 4 St and 6 Ave. Sponsors will be rapping off the top of this 15 story (205') building to raise money for the kids. The organization is currently short 8 belayers. If you want to help out for a great cause you can sign up at this link... http://www.overtheedgeusa.com/default.asp?mn=1.186.385.387.390 Thanks everyone

You might want to contact darkside (Grant Parkins) - don't know if he is available but he'll have more contacts in Calgary.

What is the time commitment? It does make it tough that it's on a weekday.

The event is from 7am - 3pm. Won't need to be there all day as they will be doing shifts. But if anyone can be there all day that would be very helpful.

He doesn't post here anymore, but I think he's still posting on gravsports. Like I have time for posting on GS-I even these days. Anyway David's email got my attention and yes I could help if I knew more. I'll PM my phone number, call me with some details but I need to know asap to make it happen with work. ************UPDATE***************** So I finally had an email from Over The Edge USA and that 7am-3pm is actually 6.15am to 5pm plus the day before for training and a webinar. I was rather looking forward to being able to help out so even arranged for the requested 7am-3pm cleared with work but being asked to take two unpaid days off work and during Stampede week to boot.... just won't work. Sorry, I guess you still need volunteers. You might want to be a little more upfront about the commitment when asking people to volunteer their help.
