‘Friends in Deed’ doing daredevil work to raise money to combat poverty

Friends In Deed on X (Twitter) David Fair: If you happen to be around the Eastern Michigan University campus on August 17th, you may want to plan a stop. There’s going to be some people voluntarily and gleefully leaving the perfectly good roof of Hill Hall in a journey to the ground. Why? Well, I’m glad you asked. I’m David Fair, and this is your community NPR station. It’s 89 one WEMU! And what I’m talking about is the “Over the Edge” fundraiser for the Ypsilanti-based nonprofit, Friends In Deed. A group of volunteers will be rappelling Hill Hall to raise money for the important poverty reduction work conducted by Friends In Deed. I’m joined today by two people involved in the effort. Tania James is the executive director of Friends In Deed. And thank you so much for coming in today, Tania! I appreciate it!
