Cliff CorbellI am excited for this “opportunity” that came my way to support the United Way… not exactly sure how my name came up (or maybe I am)… but even if it wasn’t my idea, it’s a great way to support an important cause. As some of my fellow jumpers have mentioned (what is the right term for someone who willingly goes off the side of a building?) I had to make sure my wife was good with the plan… although unlike most of the others.. my wife had zero concerns… either we have a good life insurance plan, or she has a lot of trust in ExxonMobil/Unite Ways safety systems!Please take the time to consider donating to help meet our fund-raising goal, anything you can contribute will be welcome and goes to an excellent cause to support our local communities and help those in need!
| Austin JacksonWhen I heard about the opportunity to rappel down a 26-story building for United Way, I knew I had to say yes—partly for the thrill, but mostly for the cause. United Way’s mission to strengthen communities through education, financial stability, and health aligns perfectly with the values we uphold at ExxonMobil. It’s a bold challenge, but one that symbolizes the kind of commitment we make every day to support others and drive positive change. I’m proud to represent the Permian team in this effort, and even prouder to be part of a company that backs initiatives like this. Let’s rally together, raise some funds, and show what real impact looks like—one story (or 26!) at a time.Oh, and to my wife (Adrienne) if you’re reading this…I’m sorry!! |

Rain or shine we will rappel! Our expert team leaders are on site to ensure a safe trip for everyone. In the chance of rain, we will still be going down! In the case of more severe weather, we will halt and re-assess for the safety of our rappellers.
This event is first raised, first booked -- we have a limited number of rappelling places. Once these spaces are booked, we will operate with a waiting list.
If you don’t raise $1,500 by the Event Day clients in our funded programs will still benefit from your hard work! All donations are final and refunds will not be issued if you do not meet the $1,500 fundraising goal required to go Over The Edge.
