Over The Edge
MIX 107.3 and Special Olympics Virginia invite you to experience Over the Edge in Northern Virginia on Friday, June 22. Not for the faint of heart, participants who raise a minimum of $1,000 will find themselves rappelling down the Hilton Crystal City in Northern Virginia— all to support Special Olympics Virginia. Bob Aqua from the Saturday Night Shuffle is going Over The Edge and so can you! Rappelling down skyscrapers not your thing? Band together with your co-workers and “Toss Your Boss!” Space is limited so sign up today (or nominate someone) to go Over The Edge at www.overtheedgeva.com.

Let's Move Together
Let's Move Together towards improved human rights! The Arthritis Foundation has joined efforts with the Human Rights Art Festival to help build awareness regarding human rights and justice issues related to people with disabilities. Arthritis is the most common cause of disability in the country. There are 46 million adults, including 300,000 children, with arthritis who deserve the same rights and dignity as others through the elimination of disability discrimination. To promote the new Let's Move Together movement the Arthritis Foundation will show an arthritis-related film and speaker series; host a Show Us Your Moves video contest (dancing encouraged!); provide arts and craft activities for kids; display and sell art developed by adults and children with arthritis to raise funds for its upcoming Arthritis Walk; provide sample evidence-based arthritis exercise instruction; and more!
