Several weeks ago, my Dad participated in an Over the Edge event called Toss the Boss. This is a huge fundraiser for the Special Olympics and I had never heard of it before, but it's pretty cool! Each participant raises a minimum of $1,000 before they then repel down the Suntrust building in Richmond, VA. The Suntrust building is 26 stories, or 400 feet high. NO THANK YOU! I was quite content on the ground watching. C&F Bank, where my Dad works, raised $13,000 and if I remember correctly, raised the largest amount...I hope I'm remembering that right. They had some employees repel on Thursday, but Dad was scheduled for Friday morning. I got there early with Dad so that I could take pictures up on the observation level before they got suited up and went to the roof! It was pretty cool because everyone who was going to be repelling was up there waiting and getting ready, and there were people dressed up!! You'll see pictures below of some of my favorites, but I never even thought of that! When we got there, the girls working the registration table said the Nutzy (The Richmond Flying Squirrels mascot) and the Hardee's Star went yesterday....Okay, I wouldn't even want to go in regular clothes, let alone a huge costume!
