[LOW PRIORITY] One last fundraising push to send me "Over the Edge"

[Helen Hwang]

Hi all,

One last push (over the edge)!

I rappel tomorrow (1 pm, Hyatt Regency on Market street, so come watch if you're in the Google SF office!) so one last ask for any and all donations (nothing is too small)!

Plus, you all know how competitive I am -- so would love any help to try and get myself to the top 5 of the fundraisers -- hoping to raise $9,500 or so! :)  

Push Helen Over the Edge 

Thanks,

Helen

TL;DR: I'm rappelling 23 stories off the Hyatt next Fri (Mar 20th at 1 pm -- come watch!) in downtown SF to change lives by sending kids on Outward Bound. My goal is to raise $3,000, any little bit helps or even join me in rappeling down! -- Send Helen Over the Edge 

Dear friends and family,

In what will hopefully be a more graceful repeat of last year (getting stuck mid-air was somewhat nerve-racking, to say the least...), I've signed up yet again to rappel 230 feet down from the roof of the Hyatt Regency in downtown San Francisco to help send kids on Outward Bound. I need your help to make it happen again.

As you might know, I serve on the board of Outward Bound, an organization that I truly believe in and am committed to bringing to more students. My goal is to raise (hopefully exceed) $3,000 -- enough to send one deserving youth on a 10-day expedition this summer or to send one entire classroom of twenty low-income youth on a rock climbing day. 

You can make a gift online on my fundraising page at Send Helen Over the Edge. 

More about Outward Bound

Outward Bound's mission is to change lives through challenge and discovery and they accomplish this by taking young people on expeditions in both wilderness and urban settings. Outward Bound California gives students the chance to push their limits on these expeditions and they come home with a sense of confidence, grit and determination that stays with them for the rest of their lives. Because Outward Bound California believes that income level should not dictate access to outdoor leadership and educational opportunities, they reach out to underserved and low-income students, proving two in three of their students a full or partial scholarship to participate. 

Please support this important organization by donating here: Send Helen Over the Edge

Free fallin',
