Abbye Schmitz hasn't added a story.

Hi friends — Abbye here.

I’ve committed to going Over the Edge for The Arc, which means I’ll be rappelling off a building to raise money for an organization that does truly life-changing work for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families in our community.

And yes… I am petrified of heights.

But some causes are bigger than fear. The Arc provides advocacy, programs, and support that empower people to live fuller, more independent lives, and I’m honored to put myself (slightly terrified) on the line to support that mission.

Every donation helps The Arc continue their incredible work and gets me closer to my fundraising goal — and closer to stepping off that ledge.

Thank you for supporting this amazing organization and encouraging me to do something brave for a really meaningful reason.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO GO OVER THE EDGE?

EVENT DATE: September 17th, 2026
LOCATION: Hyatt Regency, Rochester, NY
