Mark Kelly of Safety Marking LLC, sponsors Over the Edge Event with Wakeman Boys and Girls Club of Connecticut
Saturday, October 28, dozens of brave supporters rappelled down a high-rise office building as part of the annual Over The Edge fundraiser for Wakeman Boys & Girls Club. This unique event asks individuals to raise a minimum of $1,000 to secure a spot to rappel off the 248-foot-high M&T Bank Regional Headquarters at 850 Main St. in Bridgeport, CT. Over 50 sponsor participants are inspired to rappel down the 248-foot-high building to help raise funds for the Wakeman Boys & Girls Club Teen Awareness programs.
