Story

Pace Polk’s Ten Story Challenge presented by Over the Edge is a unique opportunity for Pace girls to see what’s possible when fears are put aside, and community members unite to empower and support one another. 

Last year, I conquered my fear of heights and rappelled down a ten-story building. This year, I hope you will join me in reaching higher as I level up my fundraising goal in support of our girls.   

Will you help me reach my goal of $3,000?

All girls, regardless of their story, deserve safe and supportive spaces to heal that enable them to be strong, compassionate and successful women. There is value and potential in every single girl. 

While I plan to “stay grounded” this year, I’m rooting for all “edgers” who are conquering their fears in honor of our girls. Together, we can reach new heights!
