Glen Laurel Residents Go Above And Beyond

Fellow Glen Laurel resident, Chris Yauch, won the opportunity to rappel down the Wachovia building in downtown Raleigh as part of a fundraising effort for the Special Olympics North Carolina.  Yauch raised $2,010 for the Special Olympics, providing her with this once in a lifetime opportunity to rappel down the well-known skyscraper.

Last year the Special Olympics held their first fundraising event with Over the Edge, a company that coordinates the rappelling activity as a fundraiser for non-profits all over the country.  Last year, the event drew 85 people and this year 110 people raised enough money to participate.  To be eligible for the rappelling event, put on by Over the Edge, participants were required to raise at least $1,000.  The money raised from the event will go towards allowing the Special Olympics North Carolina to hold free competitions and to provide year round training for Special Olympic athletes.

The Special Olympics is not something new to Yauch.  Her brother suffers from cerebral palsy and used to participate in the Special Olympics.
