Step Over the Edge to End Homelessness
Benefits: Siena Francis House
Location: The Highline Apartments | sienafrancis.org
The Siena Francis House is celebrating their 50th anniversary working to end homelessness in the Omaha community by offering people passionate about fundraising and thrill seeking an opportunity they won’t want to pass up: rappelling down twenty stories of The Highline Apartment buildings. Live out a Mission Impossible-like scene (safely, of course) while supporting a cause greatly needed in Omaha. In lieu of a participation fee, each participant is asked to raise funds towards this cause by reaching out to friends, family, workplaces, and more. Training for rappelling will be provided on the day of the event.
