On a windy Friday, 60 thrill-seekers rappelled down the side of a 26-floor Galleria building in an effort to raise money.
In an effort to support a good cause, 60 thrill-seeker rappelled down the side of a 26-story building in the Houston Galleria on Friday.
Through "Rappel for a Reason," campaign managers said they were able to raise more than $1,500 with each participant, totaling to more than $90,000, that will go towards the United Way fundraiser that aims to help struggling families. Rappelling is the act of descending down surface by using a doubled rope, coiled around the body, and fixed at a higher point. In this case, the 60 participants went down the side of the DoubleTree Hotel.
Those who wanted to support the cause but didn't want to make the 26-story decent were also given an opportunity to participate with an "on the ground party."
