A spectacle never seen before in Champaign-Urbana is heading this way, thanks to Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago (RHAMC) and our partnership with S.T.A.R. (Sport, Tourism and Recreation Association).  Rappelling 17 stories down the exterior façade of Illini Tower will be thirty adventurous Illinoisians taking “the plunge” for bragging rights and the promotion of lung health.  

Thirty brave participants will descend from atop Illini Tower to raise awareness and money for the fight against lung disease, which affects more than one million people in the Chicagoland area. Skyline Plunge! Champaign-Urbana will raise funds through corporate sponsorships and a minimum fundraising commitment of $500 per student participant or $1000 per non-student participant.  The event is expected to draw students, business executives, athletes, and everyday adventurers who will take part in this unique urban rappelling experience.  In addition RHAMC and S.T.A.R. will partner with Over the Edge, a Canadian-based organization that oversees these exciting events in cities across the country.
