WHAT: Centre County United Way is thrilled to host another Over The Edge community-wide event. Over The Edge is a special events company that provides signature events for non-profit organizations around the world. Business leaders, individuals, and community members are invited to raise donations in exchange for the experience of going over the edge of a prominent building. This unique event generates front page news, raises thousands of dollars and provides participants with a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

WHERE: Opened in 2017 the Hyatt Place State College is situated in the Fraser Centre, with 12 stories and standing at just over 155 tall it is known as the tallest building in State College. 

WHY: Centre County United Way believes that Health, Education, and Financially Stability are the basic building blocks for happy life and a strong community. Our mission is to ensure all Centre County residents have access to the essentials. 1 in 4 Centre County Residents rely on United Way funded programs. In Centre County 17% of households are below the federal poverty line. An additional 30% fall into the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) population. ALICE are working families and individuals, who earn more than the federal poverty line and are still struggling. In total, 47% of our neighbors were facing challenges in meeting their basic needs. The impact of the pandemic and the economy has resulted in a rising number of ALICE households. A strong, happy, healthy, thriving community improves the lives of all its residents. Now more than ever, our neighbors need our support.
