2nd annual Over The Edge at Harrah's Tahoe to raise funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters

STATELINE, Nev. - Rappellers will be going over the edge at Harrah's Tahoe on June 3, 2023, to raise funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Sierra. The 2nd annual Over the Edge is a way to be challenged and help raise funds for the group that has mentored youth since 1977.

There are different ways to participate - create a team, become a rappeler, donate, or become a sponsor. Each rappeller is required to fundraise a minimum of $1,000 by May 31. The earlier people register the sooner their name will go on the website to start getting donations.

Each rappeller goes over the side from the 18th floor.

The money raised from this event will help train volunteers, create and support long-term relationships, provide professional case management, and ensure optimal safety for everyone involved.

About Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Sierra
Since 1977, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Sierra (BBBSNS) has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is incredible potential. As the nation’s largest donor- and volunteer-supported mentoring network BBBSNS makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”), ages 3 through young adulthood in our communities. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.

Our mentoring programs benefit children who face adversity and stressful challenges in their day-to-day lives due to factors beyond their control. By partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers, and others in the community, we are accountable for each child in our program achieving:

- Higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships
- Avoidance of risky behaviors
- Educational success
