Over the Edge

Our annual fundraiser gives our supporters the chance to rappel for a great cause!

Each fall, friends, volunteers, and supporters of the Family Empowerment Centers commit to rappelling down 27 stories of the iconic Wit Hotel in beautiful downtown Chicago. All proceeds from the event go toward supporting the myriad of programs FEC offers the community of Rogers Park.

There are three ways you can help with our next Over The Edge event. You can sponsor the event, participate by rappelling, or by volunteering the day of!
