A B.C. charity is encouraging 91大黄鸭 residents to step out of their comfort zone for a good cause.

The Easter Seals have been putting on annual Drop Zone Events in Vancouver since 2005, and they have since expanded to hold events in Surrey, Burnaby and now 91大黄鸭.

On Sept. 21, 50 brave 91大黄鸭 residents will rappel down the Landmark 6 tower while dressed as superheroes to support children and adults living with disabilities for their inaugural Drop Zone fundraiser.

The money raised will go to support the Easter Seals Camp Winfield. This camp has been located in Lake country for 50 years and provides a safe and accessible environment for children, youth and adults up to age 49 to learn outdoor skills and have fun.

Registration is open to both individuals and organizations, and the event runs from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

鈥淲e鈥檙e holding the event in the Landmark District during the business day, so companies can make it part of an employee event, where everyone can watch and cheer each other on, whether it鈥檚 on the ground or from an office window,鈥 said Lisa Beck, President and CEO of Easter Seals BC/Yukon.

鈥淲e鈥檝e seen employees nominate a member of their leadership for a 鈥楾oss Your Boss鈥 day, and other departments band together to form a team to bring their employees together. It鈥檚 a lot of fun to see people come dressed as a superhero.鈥
