Information for 2026 Adoption Network Cleveland Over The Edge Rappellers

OVER THE EDGE BASICS

  • Rappellers must weigh between 100 and 300 pounds to ensure their safety while rappelling.
  • Anyone under the age of 18 requires a parent or guardian’s signature on the legal waiver.
  • No previous experience needed – OTE technicians will provide all of the training and support you’ll need.
  • Costumes ARE allowed. The technical team has the final say in whether your costume is safe. Loose or excessive costumes and capes should be avoided. Head pieces that won’t accommodate a helmet, obscure your vision or are notably large or heavy will not be allowed.
  • Wear sneakers, well-fitting clothes, and long hair pulled back.
  • Bring your cheering section!

FUNDRAISING BASICS

  • Make a list and make your ask.
  • Be authentic -- use your own voice and your own story when asking friends and family to contribute to your campaign.
  • Keep it simple -- start by asking a broad group of people via email or on social media and then narrow down to individuals you think would support your campaign.
  • Share your personal fundraising link in as many places as you can.
  • Ask us for help!  If you're stuck or want to brainstorm some fundraising ideas, reach out to Sarah at sarah.wolf@adoptionnetwork.org or Patricia at patricia.hughes@adoptionnetwork.org and they will be happy to assist.
