A first for DuPagePads, this thrilling fundraiser, hosted in partnership with Over The Edge, invites 100 supporters to rappel 12 stories down from the roof of Hotel Arista, located in the heart of the CityGate Centre in Naperville, Illinois.
Charity Challenge: The Great Descent is a day-long event hosted on April from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Hotel Arista. Participants should plan on spending 1-1.5 hours for prep and rappelling. Family, friends, and spectators are invited to come watch and support participants, while enjoying music, food and fun from ground level. Participants are required to meet the minimum fundraising goal of $500.
As one of only two available opportunities in Illinois, this unique fundraiser is going to be something to remember for DuPagePads supporters and will demonstrate what is possible when we strive for new heights together! We hope you will join us as one of the 100 brave neighbors stepping off the roof of Hotel Arista and helping to end homelessness here at home!
