Dixon Hughes Goodman Sends Employees “Over The Edge” for Make-A-Wish South Carolina
November 3, 2014
GREENVILLE, SC – Three employees from Dixon Hughes Goodman took the plunge on Saturday, October 4th by participating in Greenville’s first “Over The Edge” event.
Tricia Wilson, partner, was selected by her colleagues to represent the company as an “edger” at the event. Edgers rappelled over 200 feet off of the Bank of America building in downtown Greenville. As a Rope Sponsor, Dixon Hughes Goodman sent two additional executives, Kent Satterfield and Greg Taylor, to participate as edgers, as well.
“It was quite a thrill,” commented Wilson, “and the opportunity to raise money for Make-A-Wish South Carolina and other local charities in such a way was incredible.”
Over The Edge (OTE) is new to South Carolina, but the OTE professional team has conducted over a hundred rappelling events nationwide over the past 10 years according to the OTE Greenville website. In Greenville, 40 participants rappelled down 15 stories to raise funds for various local charities.
Dixon Hughes Goodman chose Make-A-Wish South Carolina as their beneficiary for OTE Greenville and exceeded their goal of $15,000 to over $21,000 for the organization.
