Sedgwick County Commissioners, Wichita’s Police and Fire Chiefs rappel down hotel for good cause

This afternoon, Sedgwick County Commissioners Lacey Cruse and Jim Howell will rappel down the Ambassador Hotel, 104 S. Broadway, as part of the Access the Ledge fundraiser for Project Access. The first 70 fundraisers who raised a minimum of $1,000 in donations for Project Access were allowed to rappel down the building.

Commissioner Cruse was scheduled to rappel at 4 p.m. and Commissioner Howell at 5 p.m.

“This is probably one of the craziest things I’ve ever done but knowing that one in seven residents in this community goes without healthcare is even crazier.” Commissioner Cruse said. “I’m happy to bring attention and awareness to this issue and if it means rappelling of a 14-story building to do so … well so be it!”
