Over The Edge with Camp For All was an off-the-wall success

THE WOODLANDS, TX – On Saturday, April 5, Camp For All, a local nonprofit that transforms the world for children and adults with challenging illnesses, disabilities, or special needs, successfully hosted its annual Over The Edge event at Howard Hughes’ iconic building in The Woodlands, Texas, The Woodlands Towers at The Waterway.

Funds raised at Over The Edge support the nearly 9,000 campers that Camp For All welcomes each year at its 206-acre, barrier-free facility in Washington County near Brenham, Texas. More than 30 fundraisers rappelled down The Woodlands Towers at The Waterway, raising more than $120,000 for Camp For All. Event sponsors Howard Hughes, Shell Trading (US) Company, Houston Police Officers Union, Greystar, and KBR raised funds and awareness for the event.

“Over The Edge is one of our most exciting and talked about fundraising events of the year. Whether you were one of our fearless rappelers who descended 20 floors, generous donors, or family members, friends, and volunteers who spent the day with us, we appreciate your time, energy, and support,” said Pat Prior Sorrells, President and CEO of Camp For All.

“We are incredibly grateful to Howard Hughes and our event sponsors for their outstanding efforts.”

Camp For All partnered with Fox 26 as the television sponsor for this year’s event, sending reporter Abigail Dye as a first-time rappeler. Also participating for the first time was radio personality Jay Michaels, Brand Manager and Midday Personality at Mix 96.5, the event’s radio sponsor.

Dye remarked, “I had no idea what to expect when I said ‘yes’ to going Over The Edge, but I am so happy to have supported such a wonderful organization with a mission that transforms lives.”

Michaels said, “I love the mission of Camp For All and was happy to support the organization. I had no idea what it would be like to rappel down 20 stories, but I am glad I conquered my fear!”

Camp For All also partnered with Instagram influencers Bret Shuford and Stephen Hanna of Broadway Husbands. Shuford said, “This was a fantastic experience and one I’ll never forget. I am so proud of my husband, Stephen, who usually is not a daredevil but decided to go Over The Edge with me in honor of my brother Eric, who has an intellectual disability.”
