Event
Over the Edge with ICT SOS 2023
Friday 9:00 AM - Saturday 5:00 PM CDT
In Person
ICT SOS is an anti-human trafficking organization celebrating over 11 years of serving the Wichita community. From its grassroots beginning in 2011, the organization has grown to include awareness and prevention education for schools and the community, industry-specific training for professionals, resources for direct service providers, volunteer training, and most recently- adult advocacy services for survivors! Through the pandemic, ICT SOS has not only maintained services, but has been able to grow! Last year we launched our prevention education film series, added direct services for survivors, and moved to larger office space that allows better service for survivors and expanded space for facilitating Fresh Start bags. The need has grown and we are poised to meet it, but we need your help! All attendees will be given the opportunity to fundraise. Rappelling will take place on Saturday, April 29 from 9 AM - 5 PM. Some local celebrities will rappel on April 28!
Story
In 2022, ICT SOS launched Over the Edge with ICT SOS, an urban rappelling event. Approximately 60 brave people faced their fears and rappeled down 14 stories of the Ambassador hotel to raise funds and awareness in the fight against human trafficking.
ICT SOS provides prevention and awareness education in middle and high schools, advocacy and resources for survivors, and training for community volunteers and professionals.
Participants will have the opportunity to crowdfund a goal of $1,000 either individually or as part of a team. Each participant will have their own custom fundraising page. Those who reach their goal will be rewarded with an adrenaline rush, event swag, and bragging rights!
