About the Event

What is Over The Edge
Over The Edge is an urban rappelling experience that benefits the great work of Youth For Christ in Tuscaloosa. On April 2nd, 2022 Tuscaloosa citizens and community leaders with absolutely no experience will rappel from The Tower at 2330 University Blvd. 

How you can rappel
The first 75 fundraisers that raise a minimum of $1,000 will earn a spot to go Over the Edge for Tuscaloosa teenagers. Why $1,000? Because that's the cost to provide 60 teenagers Christ-sharing mentors for a month. Register today.

Please note that your $100 registration fee does count towards your goal. These events do sell out so be sure to sign up early. 

Why are we doing this
Youth for Christ exists for teenagers far from God. 
We pursue middle school and high school aged teens who feel overlooked to build relationships at pivotal moments. We look for the student who sits alone in the cafeteria.  We hold the hand of a pregnant teenager worried about becoming a mom.  But we can’t do it alone, we need partners who will join us in our mission.  We need your help to serve even more students in 2022.
