BBBS is thrilled to be hosting their 5th annual event in 2022 in the Quad Cities. Over the Edge is truly a unique fundraiser, that is held all across the country in effort to support and raise important funds for non-profits. Specifically to BBBS, this event has an enormous and immediate impact on one-to-one youth mentoring, providing key dollars to help BBBS grow and enhance their services and programs for children facing adversity in the Mississippi Valley. The past three years, this event has raised more than $460,000!

On event day, over the course of eight hours with two ropes, BBBS is preparing to send a total of 100 people, called “Edgers”, Over the Edge. Some of these people are individual Edgers raising money and others are representing companies, clubs or institutions who are fundraising together as a “Fearless Leader Team”. Please scroll down to learn more about each one of these. Also, participation is not limited to the athletic or brave or to only people from the QCA. We have had a 18 year old Littles rappel with their Big as well as a 90 year old man plus people who are sisters, former high school buddies, husband and wife, long distance relatives, co-workers, first responders, CEOs, City Mayors and more. Please click on the FAQs link above for more information.

We invite you to get involved, whether that’s by showing your courage and rappelling, volunteering for Event Day OR by making a donation to one of our brave Edgers. All of it matters and makes a difference as we work together to help all children see the potential within them – anything is possible when you Rise Above and believe You Can Do It!
