Sign up for Drop Zone 2010: Challenge yourself & Change Lives! September 17, 2010
In Halifax, the Drop Zone allows your everyday mild-mannered citizen to become a Superhero for one day. Participants fundraise a minimum of $1500 in support of Easter Seals Nova Scotia to rappel down one of Halifax’s tallest buildings.
Every penny raised during Drop Zone stays in Nova Scotia to to help local Easter Seals kids and adults with disabilities. Since 2005, more than 600 Superheroes joined the exclusive Superhero Club for Easter Seals, raising over $1 million dollars for kids and adults with disabilities across Canada.
Making it’s start in Halifax in 2004, Drop Zone has taken Canada by storm as it now takes place all across the country in Victoria, Vancover, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Montreal, Ottawa, St. John’s and Charlottetown!

In 2009, Easter Seals DROP ZONE hit Halifax on a beautiful sunny day – with a little wind. 70 excited (and nervous) participants who raised a minimum of $1500 rappelled from the roof of 1801 Hollis St – 23 stories high – to the ground. They were trained and assisted by a crew from RAT (Remote Access Technology).
2009 marked the Easter Seals Drop Zone’s 6th run in Halifax – participants raised over $120, 000 towards Easter Seals Nova Scotia’s community based programs for Nova Scotians with physical disabilities that include adapted sports camps, a fully accessible summer camp, job training for adults with physical disabilities and the provision of medical and assistive personal equipment.
Participants of Drop Zone are superheros in our community for helping raise money for persons with disabilities. Congratulation to all the superheros who conquered their own fears to make their leap into action!!
