Kansas basketball coach Bill Self will rappel down the seven-story 888 Lofts building on Aug. 25 in Downtown Lawrence as part an “Over the Edge Global” fundraising event for Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence, the club announced Wednesday.
Self, KU’s 15th-year coach, and other fundraisers will descend the building, located at 888 New Hampshire, along with other participants who must raise $1,000 to secure a rappelling position.
Those interested have between now and the event day to raise the funds to enjoy a day of rappelling.
“I’ve never scaled a building or bungee jumped or done anything that is remotely comparable to what we’ll be doing on this day,” Self said in a release.
