Last year I had the opportunity to rappel down the 9-story CenterPoint Energy building in Downtown Evansville. This sounds like a pretty adventurous or crazy thing to do, and yes it is both of those things. So why in the world would I do that, and why would over 160 people be ready to do it this year? To help GRANTED grant wishes of local children with terminal or life-threatening illnesses. And to help GRANTED with programming that goes beyond the wish.

Seth is arguably the biggest Star Wars fan there is. His initial Wish request was to visit Disney to see the Star Wars area. Little did he know that Disney and Give Kids the World teamed up to host a small number of Wish children as the first guests in an exciting new facility. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is a Star Wars–themed 2-night live-action role-playing, choose-your-own-adventure experience, aboard a simulated cruise in outer space within the Star Wars galaxy. Seth, along with his parents and one of his brothers were blessed with this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Superheroes, Rock Stars, Mr. Cow, and More Rappel For Granted

The challenge to rappel over and down a 9-story building is one that over 100 people said YES to. Why? It's all for the Granted Wish Children. Here are a few pics from the First-ever Over The Edge 4 Granted Fundraiser in Downtown Evansville, Indiana.
