Jump for a Cause: Rappel off the Hyatt Regency to Benefit Low-Income Students

By

If you've ever dreamed of scaling terrifying heights with rock climber Kevin Jorgenson (master of the Dawn Wall), or of kickin' it mid-air with Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, your moment is now.


Or perhaps you simply set a New Year’s resolution to try a new outdoor activity or to step out of your comfort zone, or to support a worthy cause. Well, you can do all three on Friday, March 18. Outward Bound California’s City Skyline Challenge.

Join 7x7 Hot 20 honoree Jorgeson in rappelling off the top of San Francisco’s 230-foot-tall, 23-story Hyatt Regency Embarcadero and help raise scholarship funds for low-income students.

The City Skyline Challenge is a two-day get-together of Bay Area civic leaders, entrepreneurs, students, educators and intrepid individuals from all walks of life who are willing to go out on a ledge, Spiderman-style, for charity.

The only-in-SF extravaganza aims to bring Outdoor Bound's life-changing leadership education programs to low-income students, and to help them develop resiliency, courage, and teamwork skills in the face of profound challenges.

Two in three Outward Bound California students receive full or partial program scholarships that propel them to enroll in world-class experiential education programs, develop grit, determination and risk-taking skills, and learn from their failures and successes in a safe and supportive environment.

The City Skyline Challenge is unique in that it enables everyday individuals to help change the lives of underserved students by challenging themselves, and to discover firsthand what Outward Bound students discover every day—that we are all capable of achieving more than we think is possible. 

So step right up, sign up here, and literally go to great heights to create life-changing educational opportunities for underserved Bay Area students.
