Over the Edge for Kids 2018

8/9/2018

 
Picture
Children First, Inc. is putting the fun back in fundraising! This isn’t another 5k or golf tournament; we are going Over the Edge for Kids!
On Saturday, August 25th, Children First Inc. will be hosting the 3rd Annual Over the Edge for Kids event in collaboration with Nancy Travis Childcare Project and Interfaith Hospitality Network. Several brave volunteers will raise $1,000 for the opportunity to rappel down the SPARC building in Athens at 2040 W. Broad Street, across from Steak & Shake.
This exciting event will be fun for the whole family! There will be food, music, face painting and a bouncy house. You don’t want to miss out this! The fun starts at 9am.
​
We’re even sending the mayor, Kelly Girtz, Over the Edge!

Mayor Girtz says, “the first work I ever did in human services was interning as an assistant to an investigator for Child Protective Services in Norfolk, VA in 1993. That was a foundational experience in my life, and one in which I interacted with lots of CASAs and other agency people, and saw some stuff that I couldn’t get out of my head if I tried. It set me on the professional path of supporting children and families, which will continue into my life as mayor…  come watch me rappel off a building and hope that gravity treats me kindly.”
So, join us as we cheer on Mayor Girtz and our other brave Edgers.

The community can also show their support by donating. We currently have 15 Edgers who need your help to reach their $1,000 goal. Each participant has an online fundraising page where donations can be made at any level through a secure, easy-to-use system. Community members can make a donation and learn about each of our Edgers at https://www.otecwe.com/athens/children-first/.

Be a part of something different. Let’s make this year’s Over the Edge the most successful yet!
