Honolulu Freight Service Customer Service Supervisor Kai Pili-Mahoe went \u201cOver the Edge\u201d with nearly 100 other participants on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024, to support Special Olympics Hawai\u2018i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kai rappelled 40 stories \u2013 or nearly 400 feet \u2013 down the side of the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa during the 15th<\/sup>-annual Special Olympics Hawai\u2018i Over the Edge fundraiser. She said she enjoyed the panoramic views of Waikiki in the approximately 10-15 minutes it took to reach the ground.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was so excited for the thrill,\u201d said Kai, who lives in Kailua and started with HFS customer service in Honolulu nearly 5 years ago. \u201cI would definitely do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kai raised $300 for Special Olympics Hawai\u2018i during the event, which raised a total of $179,000. She follows in the footsteps of HFS Honolulu team member Jennifer Martin, who participated last year. HFS also donated shipping services for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2009, Over the Edge has raised more than $1.8 million for Special Olympics Hawaii athletes and programs. The nonprofit organization was founded in 1968, today serving more than 6,000 athletes and unified partners on every island in Hawaii.
