Camp For All Partners with Howard Hughes for 2023 Over The Edge Event

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- 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 approximately 10,000 campers each year. The organization will host its 2023 Over The Edge fundraiser and rappelling event in The Woodlands, Texas. The annual event will take place on Saturday, April 29, 2023, with fundraisers rappelling over the edge of 9950 Woodloch Forest Tower, a 31-story office building—one of two Class AAA premier buildings, part of The Woodlands® Towers at The Waterway—thanks to The Howard Hughes Corporation®. Camp For All aims to raise $150,000 through this annual fundraising event.

This event will help support the campers that Camp For All serves each year at its 206-acre, barrier-free facility in Washington County. Currently, the event has space for up to 70 rappellers, and those planning to rappel must raise $1,500 to secure their spot. The family-friendly event will last all day, with the first rappellers gearing up as early as 8 a.m. CDT. Participants will rappel from the rooftop of 9950 Woodloch Forest Tower down to the spacious 11th-floor rooftop terrace, for a 20-story descent. Friends, family and community members will be able to cheer on participants from the terrace and greet them upon landing.

“This year Camp For All is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and we are forever grateful to our Camp community for their unwavering support of our mission to provide life-changing, barrier-free experiences for our incredible campers. We are thrilled to bring our signature Camp For All Goes Over The Edge event back to The Woodlands for a third year, ” said Pat Prior Sorrells, Camp For All President and CEO. “I would like to acknowledge that this event wouldn’t be possible without the generosity and support of the wonderful Howard Hughes team. We thank you immensely.”

The Howard Hughes Corporation, a fourth-time partner with Camp For All, is generously hosting the Over The Edge event at The Woodlands® Towers at The Waterway.

'We are honored to partner with Camp For All and provide thousands of campers the opportunity to enjoy a barrier-free camp experience.
