Calling all thrill-seekers and compassionate hearts! Are you ready to push your limits and make a real difference in the lives of local children facing unimaginable challenges? Then look no further than Over The Edge, the 4th annual heart-pounding fundraiser for GRANTED.

History Making Fundraiser

How many people can say that they rappeled down a 9-story building overlooking the Ohio River in Downtown Evansville? I did the math and in the past three years, 451 heroes (With and without capes) have accepted the challenge and went Over The Edge for the kids and families with GRANTED.

GRANTED: Making Dreams Come True & Beyond

Since 1985, GRANTED has been fulfilling the greatest Wishes of children in Southern Indiana, Western Kentucky, and Southeast Illinois who are battling life-threatening or terminal conditions. These Wishes bring joy, strength, and unforgettable memories to both the children and their families, offering a light of hope in difficult times.

But GRANTED doesn’t stop at just granting Wishes! Their Beyond the Wish programming ensures that families continue receiving love, support, and resources long after the Wish is fulfilled. From emotional encouragement to community events, this program helps families navigate their journeys together.
