No. Anyone under the age of 18 requires a parent or guardian signature on the legal waiver.
Down for the Challenge equipment safety standards require that people must be between 90 and 350 lbs in order to safely rappel.
The $25 registration fee is your donation as a participant in the event. This $25 also goes toward your fundraising minimum of $500.
For every $500 a rappeler raises a life can be transformed. This money provides:
- Saves a family from eviction
- Provides a day of emergency shelter and meals for 9 people
- Provides 90 days of transitional housing for a person trying to stabilize
The minimum fundraising amount is $500.
Dress comfortably! Do not wear overly loose or baggy clothing, or clothing with long drawstrings. Wear soft-soled, closed-toed shoes or sneakers.
Costumes are allowed but are subject to the same limitations as baggy clothing. Every attempt will be made to safely fit costumes around harnesses and helmets. As with shorts, it is ultimately the decision of the Site Safety Supervisor. Stringy, loose, or excessive costumes must be avoided. Head pieces that will not accommodate a helmet, obscure the vision, or are notably large or heavy will rarely be allowed.
Not at all! We will provide information on everything to expect on event day. This will include everything you need to know about the process, from registration to the roof and back down again.
We are not able to issue refunds. All dollars raised are donations to The Salvation Army to further our work with those experiencing homelessness and in homelessness prevention.
