Serving Survivors One Rappel at a Time
Over the Edge to Fight Child Sex-and Labor-Trafficking is Gracehaven's annual event to raise funds and awareness for the trafficking and exploitation of minors. Individuals raise a minimum of $1,250 to rappel in downtown Columbus. Gracehaven directly serves about 120 youth, and we help educate more than 4,000 minors and adults through prevention education, awareness and intervention training. The goal is to help young people in our care move from survivor to thriver -- you can play a big role in that story through Over the Edge.
Over the Edge 2026 will be held on June 12 at 65 E. State St., Downtown Columbus.

What Our Rappelers Say!
“I am repeling to not only raise money for the strong survivors of sex trafficking, but to also highlight the need for resources and education surrounding this issue. I want to show people how unfortunately common this is in our community.”
"If rappelling off of a skyscraper is what it takes to get people's attention to ask questions and educate themselves in order to help prevent other children from becoming victims, or to help a child no longer suffer in silence, then count me in all day everyday!"
"My WHY for rappelling is simply that human trafficking is an issue that people don't see as 'close to home,' when in reality it takes place everywhere. Anything I can do to bring awareness to this I'm always game for, even if it means going over the edge of a building."
