Toss your boss, or Take the Plunge Yourself!

Posted by ChamberComm in Articles, Events

Over the Edge invites your organization to support the athletes of Special Olympics Washington by raising funds to Toss Your Boss!

Over the Edge allows you the opportunity to rappel from the roof of a building in downtown Seattle.

Rainier Tower stands 41 stories tall…  will your boss have the courage to be tossed for a good cause? Here’s how you find out!

  1. Gather your co-workers: Send an internal e-mail, schedule an “important meeting”, or ask for time at the next staff meeting. Get everyone on board to toss your boss!
  2. Decide who’s getting tossed: Your fearless leader may not seem so fearless when it comes to dangling over the side of a 514 foot building. Funds raised are for a great cause, so make it fun and exciting for whoever is going Over the Edge!
  3. Register Online at: www.sowa.org and choose the Over the Edge Link
  4. Communicate your team goal: Collectively, you and your team must raise a minimum of $1,000 to Toss Your Boss.  We’ll make it easy by providing you the tools you’ll need to fundraise successfully.
  5. Raise funds for a great cause and join us at Rainier Tower on August 14th to Toss Your Boss!*
*Your boss has the option to respectfully decline participation ONLY IF they or the company match the donations raised by the employees (minimum $1,000). The boss can also set a higher goal for the team that if reached allows them to pick a willing individual from the group to rappel in their place!

If you are interested in rappelling Rainier Tower…
