Rapelling for money

-

Rubianne Rubio of Bella Vista takes her turn Saturday during the Sunshine School and Developmen­t Center’s rappelling fundraiser Over The Edge at the 8W Center in Bentonvill­e. The school began a campaign in January, with participan­ts who reached their fundraisin­g goal able to participat­e in rappelling from the roof of the six-story building. Over the Edge is a company which specialize­s in producing events for nonprofit groups using equipment and techniques used in commercial rope-access work such as sign installati­on and window washing. The event had raised more than $57,000 for the school, with more donations still coming in Saturday morning. Located in Rogers, the Sunshine School & Developmen­t Center serves children and adults with developmen­tal disabiliti­es, including a preschool.
