For 10 years, the Central Park Plunge has been challenging brave community members to abseil 130 metres down Perth’s Central Park Tower on St Georges Terrace to raise funds for charity.
The unique fundraiser has generated more than $4.2 million since 2015, when the first participants took the 33-storey plunge.
This year, the Central Park Plunge has set a target to raise a total $350,000 across October 24 to 26 as “plungers” abseil in teams of four to support one of eleven selected charities.
Variety WA is one of the participating organisations and aims to raise $60,000 to help children living with disability to access essential equipment to help them communicate, get mobile, learn, play and laugh.
Last year, 28 people took the plunge in support of Variety WA and raised more than $75,000.
