Rappel for Roll Call

Imagine being encouraged — invited even — to pull a Spiderman maneuver on the side of an Atlanta building without being arrested.

If you graduated from Georgia Tech between 1997 and 2007 and are one of the first 100 young alums to each help raise $1,000 for Roll Call, you will have the opportunity to rappel from the roof of one of Atlanta's tallest buildings.

"Rappel for Roll Call will be the experience of a lifetime," said Jim Shea, the Alumni Association's vice president for Fundraising and Business Development. "You can contribute $1,000 yourself or volunteer to raise $1,000 on behalf of Roll Call."

The event is slated for June 14 as part of young alumni reunion activities, most of which will take place on solid ground.

Over The Edge's Remote Access Technology, which will be providing the service to the Alumni Association, is the largest rope access company in North America and a world leader in safety training. Over The Edge has been the creative force behind 36 rappelling events in the United States and Canada since 2003.
