United Way goes ‘over the edge’ to raise funds

Southeast Missouri – You are invited to join United Way of Southeast Missouri at the most thrilling fundraiser in the area on May 20, 2022 at Southeast Missouri State University’s Towers South.

Brave event participants, called Edgers, are raising funds and rappelling 147-feet to support United Way’s network of 28 funded partners.

Southeast Missouri State University mascot, Rowdy, prepares to take the plunge.

Grab a chair and cheer on your favorite Edger, mascot, or local celebrity at this free event as they face their fears to help United Way raise funds that support programs in education, health, and financial security.

Edgers will rappel from approximately 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., beginning with area mascots.
