How you can rappel down the Hyatt Place hotel in downtown Charleston for a good cause

This May, Trident United Way will raise money for the Tri-County Reading by Third Project by offering residents the chance to rappel down the side of downtown Charleston’s Hyatt Place. Yes, folks, you can rappel off of a building for a good cause. What will they come up with next?

On Sat. May 18 starting at 8 a.m. participants — those folks who reached the $1,000 fundraising platform — will get to rappel off of Hyatt Place. There is no experience required for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, but you should weigh between 100-300 pounds.

Tri-County Reading by Third Project is a three year partnership between Trident United Way and the area’s four school districts to provide innovative teacher training and supports.
