Over the Edge for Special Olympics Delaware, co-sponsored by TD Bank, Brandywine Realty Trust and NCCo Fire Services, is a unique fundraising event -- and the first of its kind in the Tri-State area -- allowing participants to raise funds to go "Over the Edge" of a 17-story building for an extreme personal adventure. (Special Olympics Delaware)

More than 90 people from across the state will rappel 17 stories — 222 feet — down the 300 Delaware Avenue building in Wilmington on May 9 to raise money for Special Olympics Delaware. In its eight-year history, the Over the Edge fundraiser has raised more than $1 million.
