Over The Edge For Clean Water

Over The Edge for Clean Water is a unique fundraising event in which participants raise a minimum of $1,000 for the opportunity to safely rappel 20 stories down World of Blue hotel. Funds raised support NJHC’s mission to protect the Highlands, the source of drinking water for 70 percent of New Jersey’s residents. The Coalition works to conserve the forests, streams, farms, and open spaces of the Highlands Region, safeguarding one of the state’s most important sources of clean drinking water.

Individuals, families, small businesses, and community groups can register as single rappelers or teams. Professional rope technicians guide participants through every step of the experience, from safety instruction and equipment fitting to the exciting descent. No prior rappelling experience is necessary, just a commitment to Make Every Drop Count. Funds raised through Over The Edge help support the Coalition’s work protecting forests, streams, and watersheds that supply clean drinking water to communities throughout New Jersey.

Spectators are welcome to attend the event, which will run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. While the event is open to all ages, participants must weigh between 100 and 300 pounds to meet the equipment safety standards.
