Camp For All Goes Over The Edge, Raising More Than $200,000

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- On Saturday, April 20, Camp For All successfully hosted its annual Over The Edge event at The Woodlands® Towers — thanks to Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH). Camp For All is a local nonprofit that transforms the world for children and adults with challenging illnesses or special needs. Partnering with more than 65 other nonprofit organizations, Camp For All delivers a barrier-free camp experience for nearly 9,000 campers each year.

Funds raised at Over The Edge help to support the campers that Camp For All welcomes each year at its 206-acre, barrier-free facility in Washington County. Forty-nine charitable supporters rappelled down the 31-story The Woodlands® Towers and raised a record total of more than $200,000 for Camp For All. Friends, family, and community members cheered on the participants from the terrace and greeted them upon landing. The “landing zone” also included a pop-up market that celebrated the talents of local adults with disabilities hosted by the nonprofit’s young professionals group, Emerging Leaders. Camp supporters enjoyed listening to music while they shopped and watched the rappellers on the terrace. Additionally, for the first time this year Camp For All provided a “virtual” rappelling experience. The virtual experience provided an opportunity for those who were unable to physically rappel off The Woodlands® Towers, proving once again that Camp For All strives to be inclusive and barrier-free in its activities.

“Over The Edge is one of our favorite events during the year. We are so grateful for all the volunteers and supporters that made this event a success, especially Howard Hughes Holdings and our event partners. Additionally, we were proud to offer a virtual rappel option for the first time this year, to increase the accessibility of going Over The Edge,” said Pat Prior Sorrells, President and CEO of Camp For All.

Event sponsors Howard Hughes Holdings, Shell Trading (US) Company, Houston Police Officers Union, Greystar®, Cadence Insurance and Central Insurance raised funds and awareness for the event.
