Melinda Yee, a dedicated board member of United Way of Greater Houston, is taking on an extraordinary challenge to support our community. She has committed to rappel off a 26-story building using 20,000 feet of rope, all in the name of charity. Melinda's goal is to raise over $1,500, and she needs your support to make it to the edge!
United Way of Greater Houston plays a crucial role in our community, supporting 13% of households that live below the federal poverty threshold and another 31% that are struggling to afford basic necessities despite working hard. Your donation will help United Way create opportunities for financial stability for individuals and families throughout Greater Houston.
Join us in cheering on Melinda and making a difference. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings her closer to her fundraising goal and helps build a stronger, more resilient community.
Donate today and help Melinda rappel for a cause!

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 November 8, 2024, 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.
