Experience truly breathtaking views of Waikiki and Diamond Head and support a good cause! Special Olympics Hawaii invites you to take it all in at its 16th Annual Over the Edge fundraiser, where every rappel supports athletes across the state. This year’s event will take place Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa. Participants have the unique opportunity to feel an adrenaline rush like no other when they rappel more than 400 feet down the side of the hotel and stop for a photo shoot along the way down. Register as an individual or create a team with your co-workers, friends, or family at bit.ly/sohiote2025. Space is limited so sign up today.

Early bird registration is currently available through August 1, with a reduced registration fee of $50. For those registering after August 1, the registration fee is $100 per participant. For teams, the registration fee is $25 and registration for returning participants is free. Participants must weigh between 100 and 300 pounds. Individuals under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian attend the event and sign a consent waiver. All participants are asked to raise a minimum of $1,000 in donations.

All participants will receive a commemorative 16th anniversary Over the Edge t-shirt. Additional prizes will be available to those who raise more than the $1,000 minimum. Monies raised through Over the Edge remain in Hawaii and support local athletes across the state. Since 2009, Over the Edge has raised more than $2,044,100 for Special Olympics Hawaii athletes and programs.

A special mahalo to the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa for being the host of this event for the 11th year. Those who wish to support Special Olympics Hawaii but do not want to participate in Over the Edge can also make a donation by visiting bit.ly/sohiote2025 and make a donation to any one of our brave participants. This year’s Over the Edge event hopes to raise $175,000 for Special Olympics Hawaii.
