On October 4, 2023, superheroes from the GTA and beyond will rappel down the side of Allied building at 175 Bloor St. E., Toronto in support of Easter Seals Ontario! The rappel is fully accessible and open to anyone over the age of 18 who has raised a minimum of $1,000 ($750 for returning rappelers, $850 for first-time rappelers registered on or before June 30, 2023). There is a $50 registration fee that will be counted towards your fundraising total.

The funds raised from The Drop Zone Toronto support kids in Ontario with physical disabilities by funding essential mobility and accessibility equipment, such as wheelchairs, walkers, stair lifts, bathing equipment and commodes, vital items that allow kids to live safely in their homes.

The rappel is facilitated by TACTEN, a company whose staff are all highly trained, fully certified and extremely experienced. Every possible measure is taken to ensure the safety of our rappelers as they challenge themselves and change the lives of children and youth with physical disabilities. Training will be provided before the event, including refresher training on the day of the event.
