Go Over The Edge for Northwest Children’s Theater!

Tuesday, October 6
1-5pm at The Judy

On Tuesday, October 6, we’re rappelling down The Judy’s 1000 Broadway Building, and we want YOU to join us!

Open to both adults and kids, this is your chance to take on an unforgettable experience while raising funds to provide student matinee tickets to Title I schools.

Every year, Northwest Children’s Theater offers heavily discounted student matinees to all schools.

Additionally, Title I schools receive half of all their tickets for free, thanks to the generosity of our donors year-round and through new fundraising events like Over the Edge.

HOW IT WORKS

• Participants sign up to rappel — no previous experience required!
• Each rappeller begins with a minimum $1,000 fundraising goal — but we hope you’ll aim even higher! There are many ways to reach your goal:
  • Ask friends and family to make pledges toward your descent via your personal fundraising page
  • Ask your company or a local business to sponsor you
  • Make a direct donation
  • Make it a fundraising competition with another rappeller
• On event day, rappellers receive a full training and descend The Judy’s 24 stories — in costume for some extra pizzazz!

Every dollar you raise helps NWCT bring the magic of live theater to more kids across the Portland metro area.
