Pitt students rappelled down a skyscraper to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters

Two University of Pittsburgh went “over the edge” for Big Brothers Big Sisters on March 29.

Fundraising efforts by Peyton Music and Suniska Prathipati — both juniors in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences — earned the students the chance to rappel down 21 stories of Pittsburgh’s EQT Plaza building. Each participant had to raise at least $1,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters, which pairs young children and teenagers with positive adult role models. 

The event was also documented on social media by Arjun Manjunath, a senior in the School of Business.
