🪂 Daredevils rappel down skyscraper to fight human trafficking. Gracehaven's annual "Over The Edge" fundraiser surpassed its $250,000 goal as 102 participants descended 330 feet down a Downtown Columbus building. The June 13 event supports Gracehaven's work providing care and safe housing for minor survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation. First-time rappeller Ashley Kimmel described the experience as "unforgettable," with the hardest part being that initial step off the ledge. Donations for the fundraiser remain open until the end of the month at gracehavenovertheedge.com.
