ARE YOU READY TO GO OVER THE EDGE?
 
Take to the skies with us on Thursday, October 20th and Friday, October 21st for the Philadelphia Outward Bound School's annual high-adrenaline fundraiser – Building Adventure.  For the past four years, Mayor Nutter and other politicians, Philadelphia business leaders, sports icons, students, teachers and local area youth have participated. This year’s adventure is 29 stories down Brandywine Realty Trust’s Commerce Square Building in Center City, Philadelphia. Now in its fifth year of thrilling philanthropy, Building Adventure is designed to reflect Philadelphia Outward Bound School’s mission to change lives through challenge and discovery, and replicates our organization’s innovative youth development work. Participants bravely mirror what POBS’ outdoor education programs encourage young people to do every day: challenge themselves, discover untapped potential, and use it to make positive change in the world.
 
No experience needed. Physical and technical training not necessary. 



FUNDRAISING MINIMUMS
